[ale] mounting FS

[Chris Fowler]

It seems that when a Linux box shuts down the following things happen:


umount -f -a 
mount / -o remount,ro
powerdown


Somewhere,  the bit on the FS for being mounted is set to 0.  When the system comes up next,  The FS seems clean.

first, your second mount statement contains a typo. Perhpas this only
exists in your email for help?


Second, many of your questions have answers contained within man pages.
In this case, see the mount man page. It defines checking options
based on filesystem type with a reference to changing the defaults with
tunefs, turning them off with mount isn't what you want.
