I sue GRUB and FC2. I notice that somewhere along the way, Linux no longer does a forced fsck when coming up after a power outage reboot. It used to default to a forced fsck, but now it defaults to a minimum check and then mounts. Is there a way to get the default to be a forced fsck, the way it used to be? What is the rationale for the default being just to mount? Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
