No, what kern.log shows is the ext3 filesystem running the ext3 journal on the root filesystem. Ext3 will replay the journal entries when an ext3 filesystem is mounted. So will e2fsck, but since the root filesystem is mounted at boot time before the /etc/rc scripts can be run, the root filesystem has its journal recovery done by the kernel instead of by the userspace program. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
