All; I did a clean install of FC4 leaving 2 filesystems intact while re-formatting the others. I choose to preserve data in /stage and /download Here's my df output: [kkempter@Issac ~]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda9 775M 245M 491M 34% / /dev/hda1 190M 16M 165M 9% /boot /dev/shm 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda10 11G 7.2G 2.6G 74% /download /dev/hda2 18G 917M 16G 6% /home /dev/hda5 7.7G 4.9G 2.5G 67% /stage /dev/hda7 2.0G 36M 1.9G 2% /tmp /dev/hda3 11G 4.0G 6.0G 41% /usr /dev/hda6 4.3G 797M 3.3G 20% /var /dev/sda1 56G 35G 22G 62% /media/FIRELITE It looks fine once I'm logged in however during bootup as the kernel checks the filesystems for errors I see messages referring to all my filesystems except those I did not format with a 1 apended to the name: /1 /boot1 /home1 /var1 etc.. My concern is that if I ever have to manually run an fsck I may have bigger problems lurking in the shadows... Any thoughts ?
