This might well be due to other hardware problems, or a flaky hard
drive. I don't think the assumption that because something runs 24/7
it will develop problems is true. It shouldn't. I don't doubt it
happens, but the cause is most likely either the drive is wonky, or
other hardware (memory, mboard, etc). fsck is a bandaid in such cases.
