Thanks Alexander!

Your help here is greatly appreciated.

I have since read sysconfig.txt and come away only slightly confused.

Is the filename /etc/sysconfig/.autofsck      or
                /etc/sysconfig/autofsck

Mike

touch /.autofsck

>From /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.42.2/sysconfig.txt:

/etc/sysconfig/autofsck
  does not normally exist; if it does, it can influence a choice
  whether or not to fsck after a crash
   AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5
      Number of seconds to wait for console user to make a choice
    AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=no
      If the user does not respond, choose whether or not to fsck

So do:

echo "AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5" > /etc/sysconfig/autofsck
echo "AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes" >> etc/sysconfig/autofsck
