Andy,
I believe that after you have booted a set number of times, you are
forced to do a file system check...just in case, not because there are
problems. In my opinion, it's not a bad idea, considering I just had to
install a new drive do to horrible corruption problems (I didn't have
the time to deal with fixing the corrupted drive). Are you using ext3?
