On correctly set up box, umount detaches loop, so file system data won't be there for fsck to find. If you have loop mount options defined in /etc/fstab, do this: umount /home losetup -F /dev/loop2 fsck -t ext3 -f -y /dev/loop2 losetup -d /dev/loop2 mount /home Regards, Jari Ruusu <jari.ruusu@xxxxxxxxxx> - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
