I looked through all the /var/log/messages files (actually all the files in /var/log) and can't spot any bdflush entries. This does however sound like it may be the suspect.... The machine has not been down since these changes were made, so I figured that they would "eventually" make their way to disk... Perhaps I'm wrong. Any other Ideas ? :) Thanks, Mark
