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?

I haven't seen any other reports of this. 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.


Closer investigation reveals that I've getting this error:

laptop# fsck -B /var
background fsck lacks a snapshot

So, that explains it. 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

This message appears to be the result of fsck thinking it created a
snapshot, but not actually doing so. You might try asking over on -fs.
