Recently, when I've been starting my computer I'm informed that it is recovering the journal for one of my ext3 partitions.
One might expect this behaviour if the computer shutdown improperly, but, as far as I can tell this is occurring after normal shutdowns.
Additionally, the number of inodes which are found to be orphaned and cleared is only one or two in these cases.
I have performed an fsck, but the situation continues.
Which logs files can I check to try to find out why this is happening? What are some reasons it may have happened? How can I resolve it?
UPDATE
fstab is as follows:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=ead12a48-4a3b-4e3a-b611-d3fc62e8716a / ext4 errors=remount-ro,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=217f1c44-5d04-4c75-9d4a-2a70b1726434 /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
UPDATE 2
cat /var/log/fsck/{checkfs,checkroot}
returns (Nothing has been logged yet.)
twice.
filesystem state: clean
./var/log/fsck/{checkfs,checkroot}
something? What is your system date and what time shows your BIOS?(Nothing has been logged yet.)
I'll check the BIOS time shortly.
