What I saw that was happening was that all hard drives were being included by default into fstab. It was quite a while ago. The problem comes from 2 places. If the old drives are mounted and a mount while booting into a se linux enabled system causes the mount count to exceed the number of mounts before running fsck...it will potentially write to the old drive. Or, if you boot into a se linux session and copy a file to the old partitions, you might introduce corruption. I've noticed that the problems come in 2 flavors...you get messages about corruption and a kernel panic that freezes the machine. I don't know if the old partitions still get included in fstab by default. I changed what I'm doing to avoid the problem. I want to think some changes were made in hal that helps the problem. -Steve Grubb _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
