If I boot like this: shutdown -rF now my disks sounds strange, and Linux tells me that something is wrong. If I run fsck I see no errors. What should I do? Regards Jacob

~ maybe, try:
shutdown -r now
That would work to reboot the machine immediately but not to complete the fsck on reboot. Maybe you have to specify the options the other way round ie -Fr now as opposed to -rF or even -F -r now? I mean this is an option on the shutdown man page so therefore its gotta work. IT would be a nice thing to force the fsck on reboot but perhaps you are going to need to do it the hard way ie boot off the CD, and do the fsck before any of the drives are mounted? -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================

touch /forcefsck ... reboot That works on a suse system.

It is necesary to do so if there is a problem with the root partition, specially if it is a reiserfs one. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

What exactly is that "something"? My crystal ball is out for repairs.

Check your hardisk using the manufacturer provided check program, usually in the form of a self booting floppy you can download. Supposing your HD and bios support "smart" (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) use "smartctl /dev/hda --all" and you will see the log of the hda hardrive errors, attributes, etc. That program can also test your hard drive, even with the system in use. Info: man smartctl Included by SuSE. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
