This is only added to the root partition, /dev/hda1, my home partition 
/dev/hda10 is mounted with just 'defaults'.

Even after googling, I still cannot find any reason why this may be 
happening, it's very intermittent, I just done the same Search as 
earlier and this time it works great. I only really started getting 
these errors in Gnome 2.8, so it would seem Gnome related.
