Built Linus' tree this morning (HEAD = d7ab7302f970a254997687a1cdede421a5635c68) and got this message:
FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
when booting my ia64 machine. The message may well be legitimate because I did crash the machine, so the filessytem was not unmounted cleanly.
BUT ... If I unmount and run fsck as it suggests, then I see:
# fsck /boot/efi fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN There are differences between boot sector and its backup. Differences: (offset:original/backup) 65:01/00 1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original 3) No action
I tried option 3 - fsck made no other changes, but I still see the message. I tried option 1 - and I still see the message. So I went for option 2 ... and guess what, I still see the message when I mount this filesystem.
Note that with either option 1 or 2 "fsck" says:
Leaving file system unchanged. /dev/sda1: 20 files, 19865/255496 clusters
This is the first time I've ever seen this message ... but I haven't had this system crash for some time, so not really sure when this may have started.
