This isn't a code problem. jpilot 1.8.1 is supported on Slackware 14.2. If

How does one read systemd logs on another system? My understanding is
that it's a binary format, right? This sounds like it presents some
problems for taking a "glance" at the logs in the way Randall is
asking, since you have to run journalctl to access them.
Unless I'm mistaken, EXT3 and 4 will always report orphaned inodes
after a crash (if they occur). It's just part of the logging like
frank mentioned.
However, I do remember instances back when I was using EXT3 that the
journal would be replayed after normal cold boots. It was also much
slower
