I'm using the old-style filesystems so that both versions can use them. If I boot 1.1.5.1 after 2.0, fsck says: BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPERBLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE If I run fsck by hand, it happily uses the values in the alternate block (32). I guess that this is because of the clean flag in the super-block - is that right? So: - is there a fix? - is it safe to use the filesystems un-fsck'd under 1.1.5.1 (that is, as safe as usual)? -- Richard -- Satan himself, in a sermon preached from the pulpit of North Berwick church, comforted his many servants by assuring them that no harm could befall them "sa lang as their hair wes on, an sould newir latt ane teir fall fra thair ene". - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
