+ /dev/hd0s1: Deleted inode 95849 has zero dtime. FIXED.
+
+This is actually sorta benign. What typically happens is that one upgrades e.g.
+a library, and there are still some processes using it (e.g. because it's libc).
+The library file is thus kept on the filesystem, so as to be able to load parts
+of it on demand. The file is thus marked as deleted, but the deletion hasn't
+been effective yet, thus dtime being zero. e2fsck notices this and finishes
+deleting the file. To really fix this, we would probably have to really unmount
+the filesystem.
