BT doesn't unmount cleanly

[G-Stress]

Just a question about a HD install of BT3B. I'm dual booting XP/BT3 and when I'm done using BT I click the KDE button, log out, end session that takes me of of X and then I run reboot or poweroff and all works fine, but then the next time I goto log into BT it always does fsck and says it was not unmounted cleanly. I can only assume it might be just a bug being it's just beta, but figured I'd ask.

You could have a fsck'ed up drive, maybe bad sectors caused by a headcrash.

I have always had the same problem on mine with backtrack 2 and now even on backtrack 3. I am running a Sandisk 32GB SSD on my latitude d420 and this is the only OS i am having this problem with. XP and ubuntu have given no errors. When I installed BT3, i did not create a /boot partition instead just an ext2 partition with Windows installed first, and i am thinking that my problem may be the 1024 cylinder problem as the kernal image and the boot files are not in the 1024 bytes.

I would surely hate to have to RMA this drive, but if I have to then I will.

Try using mkfs.ext3.

ext3 is not good for solid state drives as it is constantly writing to the drive and this reduces the life cycle of the drive. Plus I had all ready tried that and received the same error.

See my post here for a "quick fix". ;)
