following up on the current thread regarding running e2fsck,
under what circumstances would one need to run that command
*manually* on a filesystem that is normally mounted at boot
time?  that is, doesn't the boot sequence check the health
of filesystems, and run e2fsck automatically if it seems
necessary?

  i'm looking at the file /etc/rc.sysinit, specifically at the
parts involving checking the filesystems and fsck, and there's
all kinds of tests to determine whether fsck should be run
involving files like:

  /fsckoptions
  /forcefsck
  /.autofsck
  /etc/sysconfig/autofsck

i'm still working my way through the logic but, in a nutshell,
when have people found it necessary to run that command manually?
just curious.
