Your system is telling you that you need a UPS. Seriously, though, you are going to have this happen any time you do not properly shut down your system before turning it off. As in any modern operating system, there are files that are open and being accessed by the system all the time. A proper shutdown procedure allows for those files to be closed so that when the system shuts down, nothing is left hanging. IF, on the other hand, the system is just powered off, all those files that were open remain open, and when you boot up again, your system has to go through all of your partitions and check each file to be sure that it wasn't damaged by the loss of power while it was in a state that data could be corrupted or lost. The only way to prevent that is to ensure that your system keeps its power supply until it's been properly halted. And it sounds like that means you need a UPS, if you are getting power outages often enough to be noticed. - -- All private email sent with PGP encryption. Email for key.
