Actually I am a little worried about some disk errors I have gotten,
and am trying to be able to do this on a regular basis without having
to reboot everytime. At least, until I find out what is causing the
fscking disk errors:
 
Apr 30 04:24:43 localhost kernel: EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,4)):
ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 811296 

Apr 30 04:24:43 localhost kernel: EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,4)):
ext2_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 191782 

Apr 30 04:24:43 localhost kernel: EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,4)):
ext2_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 811291 

Apr 30 04:24:43 localhost kernel: EXT2-fs warning (device ide0(3,4)):
ext2_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 191777
