Hi everybody!<BR>
<BR>
I don't know much about ext filesystems, so please be patient if this suggestion is a little silly. I think that would be best if ubuntu performs fsck only when something out of normal happens (a hard shut down, for instance). I guess that if the system works fine, so it will the file system. Am I wrong about it?<BR>

I find the autofsck to be most notable on my laptop, perhaps because I
reboot it more frequently, and because it usually chooses to autofsck at
some inopportune time. I don't know if laptop harddrives need fsck more
than desktop's, but I wouldn't mind seeing the frequency be reduced for
laptops.
Alternatively, maybe the autofsck could be made to take a few more
factors into account, such as total run time since last fsck, total
absolute time since last fsck, drive age, etc.
