[arch-general] How do I _really_ fix the superblock?

Hi,

I still need to comment out everything in fstab, excepted of / (it does
include home) to boot Arch Linux, so at least I'm able to boot. Anyway,
each time I boot, I get a message that the superblock's last write time
was in the future, it always gets fixed and than always the / partition
is checked. The Arch Linux partition is an ext3 FS, so I run
fsck.ext3 -p from a live media and it pretended too, that the issue is
fixe, but it isn't. JFTR the hardware clock does work correctly.

I suspect it isn't related to the perl pain, that makes a lot of
important software from AUR unusable on my machine. Could systemd be the
culprit?

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep systemd /var/log/pacman.log | grep 2014-06-04
[2014-06-04 08:34] [PACMAN] upgraded libsystemd (212-3 -> 213-5)
[2014-06-04 08:34] [PACMAN] upgraded systemd (212-3 -> 213-5)
[2014-06-04 08:34] [PACMAN] upgraded systemd-sysvcompat (212-3 -> 213-5)

I could restore my Arch from a backup to fix it, but than I wouldn't
know what packages to upgrade and what package upgrades I need to
ignore.

JFTR after I booted Arch Linux I can remove the #'s from fstab and
mount everything in fstab.

Regards,
Ralf
