Comment 9 for bug 706795

I started seeing disk checks at boot time 25% of the time on a new 8G USB Maverick installation, currently running kernel 2.6.35.30. I noticed that at shutdown, the usb light blinks right up to the fraction of a second that power is cut to the laptop, so I assumed that some fileysystem buffer had not been fully flushed. On an older 4G USB Maverick, there is a noticeable time between when the usb light stops blinking and when the power to the laptop is turned off.
