Y. College at Fredonia X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1993 14:53:15 GMT Lines: 28 I have 2 IDE drives working in the Master/slave mode. As far as I can tell they work fine under DOS I have them configured and c: and d: and am able to use them and transfer stuff between them. I also have FreeBSD on the drives. I am able to mount a file system from my slave drive and work with it and fsck the partitions. However, if I put any partition from my slave drive in fstab the boot hangs at the fsck check with the controller led on solid and the disk silent. Is it a faulty controller? Does it have anything to do with the system attempting to run fsck's in parallel? I do have different priority numbers for the partitions in fstab. Is the boot time fsck in any way different from the one that is run later? Any ideas would be appreciated. -- Jin Mazumdar (internet:) mazumdar@cs.fredonia.edu >>> Dept. Of Math and C.
