Why wouldn't pygrub run fsck on it's target system anyhow? I mean, even if the user isn't being malicious, it's quite possible that the partition in question was shut down improperly. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
