Stephen, I continue in an vicious circle: I could not umount /dev/hdb2 from my mountpoint /disk2. I get always a message: divice is busy. Well, I made an fsck on /dev/hdb2 ( inspite of warning: doing fsck on an mounted system may cause severe damages of the filesystem ). Then, tune2fs -l /dev/hdb2 shows a normal line Fls features: has_journal. I then rebooted the box, and after booting up the same line Fls features: has_journal needs_recovery comes up on tune2fs -l /dev/hdb2. What means that the system is always under recovery conditions ! What am I doing wrong ? I am not mounting /dev/hdb2 on /disk2, it is done by fstab. Thanks for your help, Edgar On Sunday 14 April 2002 17:36, Stephen C.
