Dear Seth and friends:

Whenever you exit Linux improperly (su - to shutdown -h now), Linux will
run the fsck on your hard drives to check and fix and file system
errors. It does this magnificently, by the way. It's like the ScanDisk
in Windows, only (I am told by experts) much better and more reliable.

However, what many may not know (please correct me if I am wrong), is
that Linux will run this "check forced" scandisk EVERY 20TH BOOT,
regardless of whether your system needs or not. That's standard
practice.
