I'm using RedHat 6.2 and I'm having a slight problem. I have 3 windows
partitions and I'm running Linux on it's own partition. I linux I have
mounted all my Win partitions but for some reason Linux changes name on two
of my directories in windows to FSCK0000. Why is that and how do I prevent
it?

Plz email any answers to torgny_johansson@bigfoot.com

Thanks

This is caused by having fsck check the drives at duration during boot up.

In your /etc/fstab, you will notice two numbers at the end of the mount
designations.  On your linux partitions that you are mounting htese are
probably 1 2.  On ANY windows drive you are mounting with fstab, these must
read 0 0 or fsck will run on them.

Fsck is not designed to work on fat partitons.  Linux ext2 partitions are non
fragmenting, were fat partitions are allowed to fragment by Windows.
