Thats what I want it to do - but it isn't doing it. Its doing / and then doing all the rest one at a time. It should be able to do the 3GB off my IDE, the 4GB off one of my SCSIs and one of the 4GBs off the other SCSI all in parallel (after its done the 200MB root partition). > Whether it is doing only one file system per drive or all at once should > not make a real difference in regards to time, at least I would think. > Especially since this is all that is going on at the time, if booting that is. What? You don't think fsck'ing four partitions on the same drive in parallel would be slower than series?? What about all the head step?
