Hi, dmesg is probably useles: Probably some logs after mounting...: # dmesg | grep EXT EXT3-fs (md2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode EXT3-fs (md2): using internal journal EXT3-fs (dm-2): using internal journal EXT3-fs (dm-2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode EXT4-fs (dm-8): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) EXT4-fs (dm-3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) EXT4-fs (dm-12): mounted filesystem without journal. Opts: (null) EXT4-fs (dm-8): re-mounted.

Opts: (null) EXT3-fs (dm-10): using internal journal EXT3-fs (dm-10): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode On last few lines, there is some info about usb key used on thic pc: # dmesg | tail -n 30 sd 14:0:0:0: [sdg] Asking for cache data failed sd 14:0:0:0: [sdg] Assuming drive cache: write through sdg: sdg1 sd 14:0:0:0: [sdg] Asking for cache data failed sd 14:0:0:0: [sdg] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 14:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI disk mdadm: sending ioctl 1261 to a partition! mdadm: sending ioctl 1261 to a partition! usb 2-4.4: USB disconnect, device number 10 hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0.
