Just on ID 10T errors, clients see the firstboot screen with a nice
button that says "next" so they hit the power button !
Which invokes fsck (to correct my terminology from chkdisk) 
fsck switches from graphic boot to text an not back again.

can't I just disable it all together, Maybe use reiserfs?
