bothersome fsck on startup

[Andrew Perrin <aperrin@email.unc.edu>]

Folks-

For some reason, my root mount (/dev/hdb3) *never* unmounts cleanly on
halt or shutdown; I always get an fsck on startup. Any idea why?

nujoma:/# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options>                  <dump>
<pass>
/dev/hdb3       /             ext2   defaults,errors=remount-ro 0      1
/dev/hdb2       none          swap   sw                         0      0
/dev/hdd1       /src2   vfat    umask=0000      0       0
/dev/hdd2       none          swap   sw                         0      0
/dev/hdd3       /share  ext2    defaults                        0      0
