Another problem: 4. I live in GMT +8 timezone. Upon the first boot, fsck complains that the superblock last mount time is in the future, and requires a reboot. Here are the relevant messages on the screen: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Checking root file system... fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) /dev/sdb4: Superblock last mount time is in the future. FIXED. /dev/sdb4: Superblock last write time is in the future. FIXED. /dev/sdb4 has gone 49710 days without being checked, check forced. /dev/sdb4: ***** REBOOT LINUX ***** /dev/sdb4: 98408/2064384 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 585723/4122680 blocks fsck died with exit status 3 * The file system check corrected errors on the root partition but requested that the system be restarted. * The system will be restarted in 5 seconds. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This should be fixed in the installer so users in the GMT + timezones won't see the scary warning messages and an unnecessary reboot.
