That's a good/interesting idea. One suggestion; if you do this, make sure you check to see if you are running on batteries; if you are, it's likely that you might be in a situation such as a laptop on an airplane and the airline attendant has just told you to shut down all electronics in preparation for landing --- or the laptop has just reported that you only have 3% battery life left, and please shut down now. Sometimes doing a 3-5 minute FSCK run at shutdown isn't always the right thing.... - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
