>Description:
Before halting the system does not unmount external filesystems (non-/).
As a consequence, it fails writing 1 buffer to disk (giving up) and
all the filesystems (incl. /) get unmounted unproperly, thus they are
checked during subsequent boot
>How-To-Repeat:
mount -t ext2fs /dev/sth /mnt (msdosfs alsa works)
halt

(actually I had some fs's in /etc/fstab with rw,auto)

>Fix:
echo 'umount -a 2>/dev/null' >> /etc.rc.shutdown
works for /sbin/shutdown -h now

but what about /sbin/halt ??

all filesystems should be automatically unmounted by /sbin/halt or the kernel!!!
