Public bug reported:
It makes much more sense for fsck to run on shutdown than startup. I
almost always have to skip fsck when I turn on my computer because it
takes about an hour. It's rare that I turn on my computer but don't want
to use if for another hour. However it is pretty common that I turn if
off and don't mind that it stays on for another hour.
It should still be skippable, because sometimes you *do* want it to turn
off (e.g. going to bed). In addition to the 'Press [esc] to skip' there
should be a dialog box when you press shutdown:
"It is recommended that your disk be checked for errors now.
[OK] [Not this time] [Ask me again in a week]"
By the way, wasn't ext3 meant to make fsck obsolete?
