HD Install :: Not Cleanly Unmounted



Quote (brianw @ Sep. 09 2006,21:04)
Sorry for the delay in responding.  When you say that you run the command I am assuming you run the mount command is that correct?

Have you manually run the fsck command at the prompt before a reboot?

If you type fsck --help (use sudo in front if you are not currently root) you get a list of the options.  If you use -p or -y the process will be automatic (-p repairs automatically -y answers yes automatically each time a fix is required).

Here are the results from running fsck -v


fsck 1.34-WIP (21-May-2003)
e2fsck 1.34-WIP (21-May-2003)
/dev/hda1 is mounted.

WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? yes

/dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

I guess that means there were no errors? I guess I can just live with having to boot twice whenever I want to use it (or just not turn it off)! But it would be nice to at least know whats causing it...

Thanks again for your help, I sure do appreciate it.
For what it's worth I also have the same problem, with the added bonus that if I use an id other than dsl that was setup at the install it won't shut down either.
