Had a Google around, saw someone else say something similar, I wondered if this new unexplained "dirhash" was simply the informational comments after a hash mark being added to the fstab file. However, my fstab file is unchanged. e.g. The entries are just a list like this, one per mount point: LABEL=donga/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 Now I'm wondering if dirhash means adding some sort of checksum to a filing system. "Hash" being a term that I've heard used to describe a checksum (they do look like a wierd hash-up of characters jumbled together). -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
