You will never find fscks in /var/log/messages. fsck happens too early in the boot process, syslog is not yet running. There is a mechanism to log this early stuff though. What you could have seen at the console while booting is also in /var/log/boot.log. With CentOS 6 this is working. Sadly, boot.log on my CentOS 5 machines is empty and so will be yours. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223446 -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
