I converted both my partitions to reiserfs (mainly because my laptop doesn't always wake up correctly and I hated waiting for fsck after hard reboots). I did a couple of things to get rid of the checks. First off, I removed the dump and pass parameters for the reiser partitions in fstab, ie., the entries for the reiser partitions look like this: /dev/discs/disc0/part3 / reiserfs defaults /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /mp3 reiserfs defaults (gee what do you think is on the second partition?) Anyway, I'm also using devfs, so that's why the device entries look a bit funky. This got rid of the checks for the at least the non-root partitions. I thought I had to do something else for the root partition, but I can't find the change now and can't remember what it was <sigh>. I don't have any problems with the questions now. jim
