Persistent “disk will be checked…” in the message of the day (motd) even after reboot
3 answers
My motd persistently has:
*** /dev/sdb1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***
The problem is that I don't have /dev/sdb1 on my system.
I only have /dev/sdb2 (mouted as /) and /dev/sda1 which mounts to /media/backup. I delete that line from /etc/motd, but it reappears after reboot. Here's my df output:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2 73G 3.7G 66G 6% /
udev 490M 4.0K 490M 1% /dev

/dev/sda1 1.9T 429G 1.4T 25% /media/backup

Here is the output of sudo fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order
I guess /dev/sdb1 is my swap space.
