How i see it, is that the boot process does care about those -i and -c times and do ovey those. If you don't set those, it'll get back to doing the normal ext2 fsck process. Making mountcount -1 and interval between checks 0, wont' even trigger anymore this process and the disk i handled as ext3. Something like that? -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi@xxxxxx - http://iki.fi/upi/
