-----Original Message----- From: Eddie Irvine [SMTP:eirvine@tpgi.com.au] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 1998 7:44 PM To: Greg Lehey; Karl Pielorz Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: fsck - Clean Bit not set. Why not? The clean bit is not set on a running system - EVER. That's how the system knows (when booting) if the system was shut down "cleanly": just about the last thing done at shutdown time is a series of sync's, followed by a setting of the clean bit. If you are running fsck, then the machine is in use, and therefore, *by definition*, not clean. J.A.

Always has - I thought it was kind of a feature. Eddie.
