Personally I'd try something like `umount /whereever; fsck.ext2 -y -c -f -v /dev/bla; mount /whereever` If you have some idea about how long a fsck usually takes, you can schedule a reboot for some time later. If the fsck and re-mount worked, you can still cancel it. `echo "reboot" | at now+2hours`, atq and atrm for canceling. cheers, &rw -- -- Too much is just enough. -- Mark Twain (on whiskey)
