tlug: Cleanly unmounting devices

[gwalker@example.com (Gavin Walker)]

Hi guys,

Every time I start up Linux I'm getting a series of messages that say
"device XXXX was not cleanly unmounted - check forced", where XXXX is
all of my disk devices. I'm shutting now the machine using 'shutdown
now' and waiting until all activity seems to have finished, so what am
I doing wrong? Why doesn't Linux have a 'You can now turn the power
off' type message? I'm using Redhat 5.0.

TIA,


Gav
