   I have slitaz 5 installed on a very old laptop (Pent II 300Mhz). HArd disc formatted to ext2. Power down in the usual manner but each time I start i get a message that sda1 was not cleanly unmounted and a re check is forced which takes quite a while. How can I stop this.
   Thanks

   Hi terrybull,

   Sorry for late answer :(
   At first you can check to remove /dev/sda1 from /etc/rcS.conf in CHECK_FS
   Hope that your disk/partition not really corrupt

   Hi terrybull,

   Still later than shan :/

   Same problem, same solution.

   I still have a computer with a separated ext2 /home.
   A few monthes ago I shutoff accidently the power supply when the computer was working.
   I had to run e2fsck manually from a Live session to fix some errors; then the computer boots without the message dev/sda3 not cleanly unmounted for monthes.
   Unfortunately the message reappeared after I mounted/unmounted manually the partition in a Live session (maybe only hazard); now I can still see the message from time to time.

   I removed /dev/sda3 from CHECK_FS in /etc/rcS.conf for a long time but finally I prefered to restablish it. The best solution I found to don't see the message and wait the disk is scanned, is to start the computer, go and take a coffee and come back...

   Many thanks for the replies Shann and Ceel. I looked in /etc/rcS and found the following lines:

   # Filesystems to check integrity of at boot time. You should check the
   # rootfs (where SliTaz is installed) and all partitions listed in fstab.
   # Example: CHECK_FS="/dev/hda5 /dev/hdb1"
   CHECK_FS="UUID=c78323da-3c49-4469-be9d-7b73549fcd96"

   and removed the line "UUID=c78323da-3c49-4469-be9d-7b73549fcd96" which i assume is my sda1
   Have I done the correct thing. It is booting fine, without the file system check.
   The problem I have that the file system check takes quite a long time on the rather ancient laptop
   (Pentium II @300Mhz)

   So the problem is solved but should I worry that the file system was apparently unmounted correctly and the hdd should be checked? How should I get it to unmount correctly?
