Fresh install of DSL 2.0 - about a week old.

Tonight I'm getting an error when I shutdown.

'Unable to umount / trying /dev/hda2 instead'

However, on reboot I'm told I didn't shutdown cleanly and fsck runs. It then fails. I tried the command e2fsck -f /dev/hda2 when this happens and it reports passes.

When I reboot no problems... until I try and shutdown again.

Any ideas how to fix this???

Okay, fixed... after a lot of mucking around.

I had added to bootlocal.sh the commands (from another thread)
#Set Local Time Zone
zic -l Australia/Brisbane
hwclock -u

However this was causing the trouble. As soon as I removed this all was well.

Hmm... fixed, anyway.
