When I do: fsck -y /dev/ad0s1e there's no difference, it just shows me the errors but doesn't fix 'em. I see (NO WRITE) on the partition which I figure is the problem. How do I get fsck to write the changes necessary? I used to know all this when I admin'd a half dozen boxes for about 5 years but 3 years later with little to no admin chores anymore I've forgotten. Thanks for any assistance you might provide. -gerry
