Here's my understanding: Mounted fs (rw) isn't in stable state, there may be some writes to it - daemons, buffers flushes, etc. In this condition fsck can report inconsistency. And fsck running in 'NO WRITE' won't help anyway :) Cheers, Karol --=20 Karol Kwiatkowski <karol.kwiat at gmail dot com> OpenPGP 0x06E09309 --------------enigFB6AFBC894B3841F413A49B0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRs1BeghgT0HIecD5AQj2Iwf9GInoAXPjuVZon97DxntXSQISzHg1+wQj dGtwqbryJ4PiiRfcDDzU7jkHpEP1GS+5EzNKp4Mj0+2c0bkVNUBkeC2JRBgJOD9U Qi8/xYfj3KP/2Ubh6naRJE1a0ddlrc8j4rIgmczvoaZw32blLX/uURSgBKDC5+de fdahbEUfuIHDrumt+1GbqbSsDGvsoWj+X0dE0iX5DjfWbYCZHzFL5X6lYicJNPjc a04AU9s5WCDUFRnqvlLSREIRRUanQCjgae7zmmFz06Dph5aiMLKEzJuiJ0+yPEqq ROpAW1vU1rB6YlmLrmzq7RJ6aC3hFdopt6ZRvEJUbigLwiJP10qaPw== =H1Mu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigFB6AFBC894B3841F413A49B0--
