Aw now, don't get anal. ;-> Besides, that's all subjective. E.g., even a "Logical Partition" isn't a partition. It's a "partition in a partition" since the legacy PC BIOS/DOS disk label can only have 4 partitions. That's why I like to use the UNIX terminology of disk labels and disk slices. Removes the whole legacy PC BIOS/DOS non-sense, even making it easier to explain NT5+ (2000+) Logical Disk Manager (LDM) as well. > at any rate - sometimes journal'd filesystems are damaged > and the only sure way to know is to fsck it - which the > previous message would do. Exactomundo. Journaling filesystems are not the savior of disk corruption, only the reducer of boot times -- unless you have something like full data journaling with a NVRAM. -- Bryan J.
