The reason for the sudden filesystem check is that you have not yet done this:


tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/hdXX (replace XX with appropriate device suffix for the filesystem in question, eg. /dev/hda5 ).

It appears that there is an option in hijack to bypass that check as well, but I tried it and it didn't work for me (the drives are still checked after 20 or so mounts). Could it be broken or does it not like ext3?

Oh, and welcome back, how was the climbing?
