OT: Debian fscks (was: Re: Shutdown not unmounting drive cleanly)

[Richard Boyce]

I too am running debian testing (and xfce 4.2), and I too occasionally
get fsck invoked after a reboot. I'm certain this is nothing to do with
xfce or any kind of unclean unmount, as the reason given by fsck is
'timestamp in future' or something similar. Could be that debian isn't
setting the bios clock like it ought to.

Getting off-topic now though!
