I believe this is actually a good thing cause if you checking your disks and then run out of battery bad things(tm) can happen... It is actually a FUBAR piece of crap, it skips the fscks even when the filesystems are dirty (which is guaranteed to cause a much worse data loss if the filesystem is corrupt), and it causes /forcefsck to be ignored (which is unacceptable). There's a bug open about it, and we're going to fix it one way or the other. We just don't know what would be the best way yet, since fsck can't be told to ignore the fsck after N mounts or M days without a check right now. IMO, we may have to dump the whole idea entirely, and tell people how to tune their filesystems to drop the N mounts or M days stuff. When that is done, the system will fsck only when required. We may keep the battery check as an optional thing that must be explicitly enabled, since it can make a data loss episode a lot worse. And we can certainly provide an alternative way to do rolling fscks after some time has passed if fsck can't be fixed to let us do it the easy way. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

The problem is, that my Acer Travelmate 2355XC reports this also, when on AC power.
