THANKS for > any help! Make sure you run ``fsck -p'', and do so in single-user mode. Unless your disk/controller is actually hosed, you should not get such "repeat" errors if you follow these guidelines. Most repeat errors are as a result of a sysadmin running fsck on a mounted, live filesystem in multi-user mode.
