All exactly the same. OK, checked in dmesg and /var/log/messages as you
suggested.
Well, first there are messages that hdb4 (and others) are mounted with
an ordered file system (ext3), but way down the list in dmesg, (seems
to be random)( eg; 25 lines down, then another 4 or 5 lines, then
another 12 lines, etc.) I get the JBD message for some of those other
partitions.
In checking tonight's boot-up in /var/log/messages I get the JBD message
for hdb7, 10, & 4.
OK, so what is happening is that message doesn't come up until there is
a write attempt to that partition ?

No, you have been helpful. I learned something new. One last question.
Is this a hardware thing ?? hard drive or motherboard? If it's the hard
drive should I be worried? My replacement motherboard should arrive
tomorrow or monday. ( Don't pay any attention to the time and date.
Sick of fixing it)
