Hi,

I have a computer that will have it's power removed quite often. In other w=
ord It will not unmount the file system. What kind of implications does thi=
s have in the long term?

I have discovered that the start-up takes much longer because of having to =
clean the file system. Is there a way to prevent this and what harm can cut=
ting the power have on the system?

I know of some installations that use read-only mounting. Is it possible to=
 mount / RO and /etc and /var RW? Will that speed up the boot process?

Best Regards, Rickard.
