This might actually be quite scary for new users migrating from other operating systems. I remember when i first installed FreeBSD and got that warning, it is a bit scary and you wonder what's wrong with your disks. In the end just ignoring it seems to work fine, and I've done so. Still, the warning is a bit scary and might scare off potential users. So from a user's/admin point of view, I'm all for nuking the message if it's bogus anyway. > > I agree; FreeBSD is the only OS that complains about this, and ignoring > the warnings has always worked perfectly well for me.
