I am running 12.04 LTS completely update.
When logging in on the command line, I see this message
*** /dev/sda1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***
I've rebooted once and got the message upon logging in on the command line; then used the sudo touch /forcefsdk command and rebooted; and I still get this message.
How can I clear the message, and does it really make a difference?
If it helps this system shutdown uncleanly due to a power failure, but has rebooted and acted fine since.
