fsck errors



hi,

can anyone tell me why it is that every time my filesystems are checked i get these errors:

(this is my /var filesystem)

/dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'showq' in /spool/postfix/public (45244) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'cleanup' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'rewrite' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'bounce' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'defer' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'smtp' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'error' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'local' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'cyrus' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'uucp' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'ifmail' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6. /dev/hda7: Setting filetype for entry 'bsmtp' in /spool/postfix/private (100745) to 6.
/dev/hda7: 3665/102800 files (1.6% non-contiguous), 69820/409601 blocks


I get this on two separate potato machines, one of which was just installed it happens both with the debian base 2.2.12 kernel and my own custom compiled 2.2.13. all with latest ext2fs progs/libs (1.18-2).

I have found however, that if i go to single user mode, umount the /var filesystem check it i get the above errors and if i immediately check it again then the errors are not there fsck gives a full clean bill of health, but as soon as i go multiuser again then go right back down and recheck they are back.

i am sure this is not some obscure bug with postfix since i get the same errors on my /tmp filesystem for the .font-unix/7100 socket files made by xfs[tt] (the above postfix files are all sockets)

this is exceedingly annoying :|
