Questions:

I currently run the fsck command on my FreeBSD 2.1 system and find that
I need to have fsck do repairs by answering y to the questions.  I also
notice that when I bring my system back up I get a message like the
following:

"/kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted."

Why is this happening if I use shutdown -h now?

Why is fsck constantly telling me there is something wrong with my
filesyste?

Please help

Thanks,
Angel
