OTOH, on my FreeBSD box it takes about 22.5 seconds per GIG which means that if your news server was on a FreeBSD it will take about 6.75 seconds. Now if you parallelized your fsck like someone posted here then it should take less than 2 minutes to fsck 18 gigs 8) Oh, I have 54000 rpm disks ... Enjoy, Amancio
