Ahh, I see, and I have such a file now. It will now be quite a few reboots before I see if that helped though, about 20 to go I believe. OTOH, I could use those up in a day or so as I'm tyring to troubleshoot why the 2.6.11.2 patch, a simple little 2 liner, should break tvtimes audio controls, but it does. Totally disabling the volume control and makeing the resultant audio badly distorted and tinny as hell.
You can add forcefsck as a parameter to the kernel boot line (e.g. in grub) to force a filesystem check I think. Or create a file /forcefsck
The /fsckoptions and /forcefsck files will get erased at each reboot btw.
