fresh install of 7.00. on old HP monstr Comp runs absolutely perfect. On boot I get always a message with same numbers (prior to login screen). Searched web some bla-bla... most complain that linux freezes after that. In my case no harm. It's not a big deal but I think the operation takes some at least 10 additional seconds on boot and I simply don't like any messages. What it clears? Why always the same numbers. Something sits there ... SDA3 is free space partition /dev/sda3: clean,188973/4857856 files, 3401740/19405824 blocks what it's cleaning ? on free space could something be done to prevent this? Thx.

I wanted to hide that message too and once looked into it, I don't think it's possible to hide. But if someone knows, I'd be interested to know the answer too!
It is from fsck which does a file systems check. If it ever finds not clean, like if you hard poweroff, then it'll show a page of stuff about inodes or something while it fixes the file system. So if you were to disable it, could cause corrupt data instead of preventing it.

try this solution: sudo leafpad /etc/fstab
Find the line for /dev/sda3. At the end of the line, you should see 1 or 2. Change this to 0. This tells the system to not run fsck whenever it boots.
The question is if you really do not want to check the partition.
I always ignore this message. Completely harmless. Great would be to perform the fsck and show the message only in case of trouble.

thanks for clarification... check disk is not bad idea.
So the same numbers are probably just because it finds the same files quantity. More data will be added logically the numbers of files will change. Correct?
