An advice among all others: - When the machine gets stable, disable FS checks (in fstab, I dont remember what field to set to 0) - Setup the filesystem not to ask for check every N mounts (tune2fs) - Have a "netboot" available when things get really bad, so that you can mount you usual "/" via the netbooted system -- RMA.
