Is there anybody out there ?

If so, anyone may answer my simple question:

Everytime I run fsck (as root), I get the following message:

CLEAN FLAG WRONG IN SUPERBLOCK. FIX ?

If I type 'y', I am told the error was corrected and I should reboot the
system. If I type 'n', nothing happens.
In both cases, I couldn't find out whether I have to worry about this
message or not (I couln't stat any consequences).
My disk drive is a Quantum 730AT  (IDE)  with a 350 MB DOS partition and
a 350 MB BSD partition, divided in 3 parts (/, swap and /usr).

Maybe I should mention that the error message described above appears for
ALL filesystems  (/ and /usr).

Thanks in advance,

Oliver
