It would be nice if they could be marked in /etc/fstab for "later fsck + mount" so that a lengthy fsck of these filesysetms does not hold up the rest of the boot process. If a small script were provided, along with a freeform string tag in /etc/fstab, one could fsck/mount the squid cache partitions right before squid is started with: /etc/rc.mount squid and news partitions right before inn with /etc/rc.mount news Further to this it should be possible to specify a "not important" flag so that if the fsck/mount doesn't succeed we just continue without the filesystem, rather than drop into single-user. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
