Hi there,

I'm having a problem with a system that I am having trouble understanding.
Whenever I reboot the machine (3.0-RELEASE, Western Digital IDE drives both
on IDE channel A), it comes up with an "WARNING \ was not properly
dismounted".  This occurs even though I shut down the system properly
(shutdown -r now...)  fscking the partition and mounting it by hand is
required at each reboot.

It is my understanding that the boot system call unmounts all active
mountpoints before shutting down.  Could this fail for some reason?  I've
heard of this happening on systems with NFS mountpoints but the system in
question has none.  If no one else has an explaination for this behavior I
will investigate further and report my findings.

Thanks for any assistence,
Scott
