Gretings,

on my almost  ten years old laptop  device "/dev/sdb1" refers  to a disk
`SATAIII 1 TB HDD HGST/WD / 7.200 rpm / 2,5"Â´ to be mounted at "/home/".
I wasn't aware  of any problems,  but now it sometimes happens that wak-
ing-up the system after hibernation turns into a normal boot because the
file system check  for this device fails,  causing file  "openrc.log" to
contain:

    * Checking local filesystems  ...
   /dev/sda3: clean, 806263/6275072 files, 8962535/25077622 blocks
   /dev/sdb1: recovering journal
   /dev/sdb1: clean, 173412/61054976 files, 35603500/244190385 blocks

Any advice where to look for what in order to hunt this down?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
