Just before those lines put your own lines like fsck -f -y /dev/devicename and redirect the output to some file. Autofixing the filesystem can be dangerous. If there are large problems with inodes, it may render you a unusable file system. That doesnt happen too often but it happened to me once. So, It will be better to have a backup before running such a command. -- Thanx Pritam Ghanghas
