Actually yes...I meant to post them in my last message, but hit send
too early...here's my output from boot (from dmesg.boot)

No...it didn't find anything wrong / anything to fix.  (and one of the
file systems was being written to at the time...so at least journaling
appears to be working)  Something else I noticed...Manolis' article
says it should say "journal xxxx consistent"...whereas mine says
"Journal xxxx clean".  I don't know what the differences mean, or what
the BIO_FLUSH means...but I'm hoping you can tell me. :)

Thanks again!
