One other problem which I noticed with our Sun-2s running 4.0: if you have /usr mounted r/w and the pass # is not 1 (we had it as 2, from suninstall), fsck will run the check as a child. If there is repairable damage on /usr (at this point a mounted filesystem) the child will return 4 to indicate that a reboot should be done. But the parent will return 8 if any of its children return non-zero status, causing rc.boot to fail on the autoboot. The fix is for fsck to |-or it's childrens status together, rather than returning 8 if any are non-zero. The workaround is to make sure that any filesystems mounted when fsck -p runs are checked in pass 1. @alex
