Normally checkfs runs fsck BEFORE mounting a file system (file systems need to be unmounted for fsck to work on them), so your system probably already does this. In the old days this would be similar to the "preen" options which do some light cleanup of file systems. You can also force a full fsck every time you boot by creating the file /forcefsck (e.g. "touch /forcefsck") when shutting down - the next time you restart it will do a full fsck of all disks. -- A. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
