Nice. But the issue you're not mentioning is: What errors could have 
happened on the 6th of november? Should Con worry about those errors?

OK, the chances are that he has rebooted since november, and that an
older fsck fixed the errors, but not cleared the "fs errror log". Would
these errors have triggered a "remount-readonly" if the fs was mounted 
like that?

I don't reboot that often: 

obelix:~> uptime
 09:16:19 up 175 days, 19:04, 19 users,  load average: 110.10, 110.61, 111.22

(and yes, the load is quite high on that machine. I won't polute this
thread about that....)

	Roger.
