Well the prob is, the error occurs each time (it seems
the partition is simple missing in the list of
partitions to check or something)

This is the warning:

--------------------

Mounting local filesystems
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck
is recommented

--------------------

How will doing this solve the prob ?? It happens
during each boot !
