>From what I've read, it's a good idea to occasionally have fsck run when
you reboot a system. Also, I've had Fedora lock up a few times (over
the past year, BTW, so I'm not complaining!) such that I had to power
off and back on to restart.
What I do to have fsck run on startup:
1. Create /fsckoptions with the switches I want to supply to fsck
2. Run "shutdown -rF 0' to create /forcefsck and reboot.
Note: When fsck is finished after the reboot the /fsckoptions
and /forcefsck files are removed automatically.
tune2fs -c 21 /dev/xxx
This is what I have on my laptop, it is set to fsck after 21 mounts (I
think 21 is pretty typical setup for a lot of distros like Ubuntu (or
gentoo in my case) change the 21 to suit your needs that should
eliminate the need for the setup you have.
