Drives always come up dirty after shutdown on 6.2-PRERELEASE.
Hey guys, I'm not really on the ball with reading the lists now-a-days, and so I've not idea whether this has been discussed already. On my laptop running 6.2-PRERELEASE the drives always mount dirty, which suggests that they are not being shutdown clean; however the machine always syncs the disks and switches itself off after a 'shutdown -p now', and so I'm not sure what it could be. Has anyone else seen this? Joe p.s.

Have you tried running a "fsck -f" on the drives? It's possible there's a latent error that isn't being fixed by bgfsck. -- Brooks -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The background fsck isn't running. So, any ideas why it isn't snapshotting? laptop# ls -ld /var/.snap drwxrwx--- 2 root operator 512 Oct 2 12:09 /var/.snap Joe -- Josef Karthauser (joe@tao.org.uk) http://www.josef-k.net/ Physics Particle Theory (student) http://www.pact.cpes.sussex.ac.uk/ ================ An eclectic mix of fact and theory. ================-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
