Are you sure about that? The man page for fstab says that "The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.", but makes no mention of this field being taken into account when determining the mount order of the filesystems. There's no mention of this ordering being performed in the man page for the mount command either. I hope that this field does get interpreted as you describe, since I've also ran into situations similar to this that could have been readily addressed if I could have manually specified a mount order. In either case, something needs to get bugzilla'd here: the man page if you're correct, or the mount program if you're not. -- John Kodis Goddard Space Flight Center kodis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Phone: 301-286-7376 Fax: 301-286-1771
