Hi. I'm using Debian. Is this a Redhat-only list, or is it only hosted by RedHat? I recently changed my filing systems over to ext3, but deliberately left the forced boot check parameters alone so my system checks after 20 mounts. I notice that the fsck takes a good ten times longer than under ext2, to perform the cleanly unmounted check. (On the occasion where I did unmount dirtily, the journals played back and things came up swiftly - huzzah.) I looked back through the last several months in these archives, but could only find someone's fsck hanging - mine just takes a long time, and the spinner sticks here and there. I also notice that I can see .journal files, despite /proc/mounts showing ext3 for all my disc-based filing systems. I seem to be using e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Linux vermillion 2.4.16-k6 #1 Wed Nov 28 10:34:08 EST 2001 i586 unknown Is this a known problem?
