You reboot a box remotely, login in to it again and notice that the 
clock is an hour fast.  You correct the clock, make some trivial changes 
and reboot once more.  The box fails to come up.

On logging in to the serial console, you find that the bootprocess has 
halted during fsck because the "last mounted" time is now in the future.

Phew :)
