Thanks very much, I hope I understood it: wenn shutting down, the disk2 is beeing unmounted by the system -normal-. When I boot the next time, the flag gets always set, as I am mounting disk2 read-write, is that OK ? And if the system crashes due for instance to a power crash, then the flag would start a recover the next bootup and after the disk2 is again mounted read-write the flag would again being set ? And short: I do not have to be worried by that message ? Thanks again Edgar -- ----------------------------------- Dr.-Ing. Edgar Alwers Mailto:edgaralwers@gmx.de
