[solved]partitions cant be checked at boot

Hi,

each time at boot the partition with reiserfs wants to be checked, but it appears to be mounted. So I enter my root pw, but /dev/sda3 where reiserfs is on, isnt mounted, yet reiserfsck --check /dev/sda3 still tells me it is mounted. Mounting it and unmounting it again has no effect. So how can i fix this? Remounting the root partition and mounting everything else and then typing in shutdown -f now doesnt really look like the final solution.

Thanks.

e: I thought editing this better late than never could still make sense.. My mistake was that I thought everything thats mounted would appear with mount -l. This didnt seem to hold true for the automounting rules i set for udev. Since I edited them according to my setup, everything runs smoothly again

Re: [solved]partitions cant be checked at boot

So today i felt like rebooting again and tested if i could check the ext4 partition /dev/sda4, but i also got the message that this one was mounted.. The output of mount -l gave the following though:

proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=63583,mode=755)
run on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755)
/dev/disk/by-uuid/450aa66f-cf5a-4fb6-a9f9-c10b58c12589 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

Am I missing something?
Since I failed at editing the grub/menu.lst anyways I had to boot the live cd to change it and while I was at it I checked all the filesystems and there seem to have been no errors o/
For whatever reason shutdown -f now didnt do what it did before.. but init 3 or 5 makes more sense anyways.
