So try changing the sixth parameter >in /etc/fstab for the wd1 partitions. say from 2 to 3. I found that didn't work unless I made the number 1 for all the paritions on the drive where / lives. No sir, didn't like that at all. However, the man page reveals that: fsck -p -l1 will fix that right quick. `-l1` says only have one process doing the fsck and *poof* the problem disappears. However, this still isn't the problem I am having. I appears that while wd1 is marked as slave ina dual drive system. IO CHANNEL and spindle SYNC are disbaled by default Would the problems I am having be due to the fact that both are disabled on wd1 and perhaps wd0 is not mastering them as it should? Any hardware buffs out there, if you see this please reply or followup, this is outta my realm :-) -- Ack! Creek, not creek; Pop not soda; Car needs washed...
