Well, as you yourself said in an earlier post on this topic, " Memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first!"! You are almost certainly correct - it was "fsck", not "fdisk". I just typed the wrong thing into my posting. Another "senior moment". > This isn't a black art To me, a home user, it sure seems like at least magic, maybe black magic! (just kidding, partially!) It amazes me what some of you, and those who engineer operating systems, boot scripts, etc., can do. I dread to think how many college (and graduate?) courses and how many years of experience it takes to do what you do. I guess that why they pay you the big bucks! I should see my friend sometime next week or two. He wants me to help him practice his cloud computing paper before he presents it at some conference. (He's an international student.) I'll ask him about the fsck options then. Bill. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
