I found that didn't work unless I made the number 1 for all the paritions on
the drive where / lives.  No sir, didn't like that at all.  However, the man
page reveals that:

fsck -p -l1 

will fix that right quick.  `-l1` says only have one process doing the fsck
and *poof* the problem disappears.

However, this still isn't the problem I am having.  I appears that while
wd1 is marked as slave ina dual drive system.  IO CHANNEL and 
spindle SYNC are disbaled by default  Would the problems I am having be
due to the fact that both are disabled on wd1 and perhaps wd0 is not mastering
them as it should?

Any hardware buffs out there, if you see this please reply or followup, this
is outta my realm :-)
