My player began locking up during the "checking media" stage of sync... so I upgraded to the developer image of 2.0 beta 13 and went to the shell via hyperterm.... after finding the appropriate commands in the FAQ I started and everything was and maybe is going according to plan.... basically it's been sitting at the "pass 1: checking inodes, blocks and sizes" part for about 30 minutes now... here is what it looks like

empeg:/empeg/bin# ro
empeg:/empeg/bin# umount/dev/hda4
bash: umount/dev/hda4: No such file or directory
empeg:/empeg/bin# umount /dev/hda4
empeg:/empeg/bin# umount /dev/hdc4
empeg:/empeg/bin# swapon /swapfile

it's just kinda blinking there.... is this normal? will it come back to a shell prompt or should I reboot the thing?

Never mind.... it's all good now... I think.... sorry!
