There you go.
Re: [arch-general] unclean filesystem
Usually you set your system clock to 'localtime' for your unix install since windows only uses localtime. If you have your unix install using gmt, then on every reboot (at least those where the reboot occurs within a timeframe less than your localtime offset from gmt), fsck can get called because the filesystem time has changed. Big pain. If dual-booting, make sure you configure /etc/rc.conf and set: HARDWARECLOCK=localtime If all that is already done -- dunno?? Damn, I got all excited there, but it turns out that it's already in there. Yeah, it's really weird. Thanks anyway. Which of the logs might this be recorded in? -- chris

Are you using automatic time synchronisation (NTP) on any of the systems? This might be the problem. Sébastien Leblanc
[arch-general] unclean filesystem
Uh, this might be a quick question, since it's a little abstract. I'm dual booting and I've noticed that every time I boot into Arch after I've booted into one of my other systems, there is a forced file system check. It's not a huge deal, because I use Arch almost exclusively, but I have to say, I cringe at the thought of having to boot into one of the other systems now. How would you trouble shoot this? I have also never seen a system where after every ~20 reboots, a file system check is mandatory. This might just be my ignorance here, so a reference to some background about that part of the boot process might suffice. Thanks in advance. -- chris

I set mine to every 30 days (previously was rebooting up to 10 times a day from playing with kernel configs). Its not a hard-coded check, and can be (I think) cancelled with Ctrl-C, based on some other mails going around here a few days back.

I think if you hibernate Windows, your partitions don't get unmounted and that could be what's happening.
