Disk checks during boot without any apparent reason

stefanofalone · 05-21-2011, 01:23 PM

Hi everyone,
I've been an Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit user for one year. My Ubuntu distro is installed on an ext2 file system.
Occasionally, I experience disk checks during boot without any system freeze or power loss.
Sometimes, once reboot, the system works fine but Evolution Mail requests a new account, as if it was used for the very first time.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot for help in advance.

Stefano

I tend to find that the system is shutting down too fast, some drive action was trying to be performed during the shutdown and was not reported. I find that more on ext3 but on ext2 I guess it could be drive errors.

Not sure there is a fix since it did work the only real test would be to go back to base install and try to see if it works then.
