I often turn on the machine with those enclosures off, but in order for that to happen, I have to comment out their respective lines from /etc/fstab: #/dev/black/black /black reiserfs noauto,defaults 1 2 #/dev/slick/data /slick reiserfs noauto,defaults 1 2 #/dev/quattro/span /span reiserfs noauto,defaults 1 2 If I leave them in active, and don't turn on the enclosures, the system stops for repair. Does vgscan lok into /etc/fstab, and tries to spin those drives for those groups even _regardless_ of noauto? -- Cheers, Alexy Khrabrov :: www.setup.org :: Age Quod Agis
