	Output from /etc/daily will always complain about the CLEAN FLAG
because the filesystem is still mounted.  The CLEAN FLAG tells whether
the filesystem was 'umounted' cleanly; since it is still mounted it
will never say anything but.  The fsck proabably should not even be in
/etc/daily (remove it from the script if it bothers you) if not leave
it be, it probably will not hurt anything.
