A fix until the init scripts work correctly: >From http://lwn.net/Articles/264498/

Newer e2fsprogs display a better message, and you can set an /etc/e2fsck.conf setting: [options] buggy_init_scripts = 1 That will fix the this issue. The problem you are facing is that you have your hardware clock set to ticking localtime, instead of GMT. ... The problem on the Linux side is that some distributions, and Ubuntu is the worse offender, but probably not the only one, do not correctly set the system clock before they run fsck. And if you live east of GMT, such that your localtime offset is positive instead of negative, then time can appear to go backwards and e2fsck can't trust the last superblock check time. Old versions of e2fsprogs display a funny large time interval due to an integer overflow bug; that's since been fixed. (This bug doesn't support people in the US, because of our time zone offset, but it tends to affect people in Europe who are dual-booting with Windows and hance have their hardware clock tick localtime.) ... ---end quote--- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
