That's good news. I think it would be a much better idea 
however if the automatic check was done when shutting down as 
opposed to booting up. Having the option to run it at shutdown 
would be great. I have two very full 500 GB drives that take 
forever to fsck. When I boot up the computer, it's because I 
need to use it right away... not wait many, many minutes for 
fsck to complete.

I set up fsck to run every 100th boot with tune2fs but even 
with that, on Gutsy it runs at the most inopportune times. I 
don't keep track of every boot. Who does?
