File system not properly dismounted

[rex]

I got 2 HD in my machine, 40 GB is mounted as / and 150GB is mounted as /data.

Every time I boot the system I see a warning message that /data was not properly dismounted.

Now I don't know whether this message was present when I first booted my system after installed FreeBSD or not. I first came across this message when I was checking boot messages after power failure.

Note: I've not installed 2HD separately, it was present at the time when FreeBSD was installed.

You should run "fsck" command for /data. And by the way, what type of file system is that?

[robbak]

Are you perhaps mounting that second disk read-only?? That would prevent FreeBSD from checking it and marking it clean. You need to run a fsck on the filesystem: but we need to know what filesystem it is before we advise you further.

It is UFS and it is not mounted as read only, anyway problem seems to disappear automatically after 3-4 reboots and I don't seeit any more. I think problem might have been because of power failure and hopefully I wont see it again .

fsck checks FS in background when you boot system

killasmurf86,
Just curious, why the hell u need 6.00 GB swap, when you have 2GB RAM and you are running FVWM.http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?scre...173c8&m=screen

Ah... i was messing with filesystems....
I increased my swap, after once, i had none, and used convert *.jpg *.png (or something like that)
and then suddenly X hanged..... I discovered that i was out of mem....

However now i have 2GB SWAP, which is still a lot.... but at some point i might use it for other purposes, when necessary
