Re: fsck forced when using /sbin/shutdown

The machine seems to properly shutdown, but I always (at least I think)
get the message that a filesystem contains errors and needs to be
checked. When I use the shutdown option in Gnome, the system boots fine
without the fsck.

And is it true that there were errors? What does the "fsck" log say?

I wonder what difference can be in shutting down from GNOME and doing it
from the command line, mmm... >:-?

This is really annoying, especially as both / and /boot are on an SSD,
the system that is checked is always another rotational hard disk
mounted on /home.

The problem started when I reinstalled Debian Wheezy on the new SSD,
using the AMD64 architecture. At the same time I got rid of an old,
unused, partition on the HDD and extended the existing ext4 partition to
include the newly claimed space. All this using the Debian installer.
Before the reinstall the system was running Wheezy on the i386
architecture and the now extended partition was already used as /home,
it was not changed other then extending it.

Any ideas?

One dumb idea, yup.

Before you shutdown the system from command line, logout from your
current GNOME session, go to a tty and then run the shutdown sequence
from there. Is the "fsck" still coming up when you boot?
