   Thanks. It looks as though I may have an intermittent problem, with one
drive slow to start giving data. I have had intermittent problems re-booting
a box, possibly because I tried to put /var on a separate disc, but I have
also tried placing the various partitions in a different order on other
discs. It has worked, but not every time. This time I have everything on one
disc, and still have intermittent problems.
