do you have an old hard disk? once I had Red Hat 6.0 installed on an old machine and every now and then when i was booting linux it would tell me that my hard disk is due for a check. I could never figure out why except that maybe because the disk was old and already had a few bad clusters, it would do a routine check to make sure the old disk is still going properly...
i dunno, thats just a guess.. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Copeland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 27 January 2002 11:43 PM To: SLUG List Subject: [SLUG] Unclean Unmounting Hi All, I am a little confused at present. Lately everytime I boot into Linux (SuSE 7.3 Personal), nearly all the time now, my boot messages tell me that hdb3 (the / partition) was not unmounted cleanly, so it scans the disk. Now when it shuts down, it tells me that is unmounting all the disks and hdb3 is supposedly unmounted. But the next time I boot in it tells me it is not cleanly unmounted. I have checked all the included docs and have been to the SuSe website, but I haven't found an answer. The only thing I can think is I recently dleted Wine from my hardrive and since then the problems have started. Does anyone have any ideas, or has this happened to anyone else?
