I have been > able to think of two possible solutions but neither is terrific. I have come up with a third idea that would seem to address what I am looking for... 1. Create a file with the list of filesystems in desired order of execution. 2. Create an init.d script that: a. Sets tune2fs -c 0 on all filesystems. b. Extracts the first filesystem from the file, c. Sets tune2fs -c 1 on it, and d. moves it to the end of the file. The result is that on each reboot (after the first) only one filesystem will be checked on each boot. The down side is that an fsck will be run on every reboot however this could be mitigated by adding a boot count that would be maintained and checked in the file. It would appear that I have the beginnings of a workable solution. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com
