This argument has always puzzled me even if you leave aside the fact that we have wapbl so most of the time it is just a matter of replaying the log and on your way - even if you suffer through a fsck, so what if you have / up first? This may be satisfying from a sys admin point of view because you can get in and Do Stuff(tm) but the machine is not useful until all the file systems that need to be mounted are checked and mounted. So, so what if you get / first and then have to wait for the rest of the fsck's to happen vs a fsck of a single large file system? At the end of the day it will take about the same amount f time to get the machine to a usable state. -- Brett Lymn -- Sent from my NetBSD device.
