Agree.
For example, autofsck should not run when
* laptop is booted by using battery/low battery;
* mount time and unmount time are equal;
Thanks, Jerry.

Hi everybody!
I don't know much about ext filesystems, so please be patient if this
suggestion is a little silly. I think that would be best if ubuntu
performs fsck only when something out of normal happens (a hard shut
down, for instance). I guess that if the system works fine, so it will

I agree with Bryce here, another addition would be, after a large/lots of
updates.

I think there's an elephant in this room - why are we running fsck at all?
a) If it's to detect corruption due to software errors, fsck should be
linked up to apport, and reported (semi-)automatically.
b) If it's to check for dying hardware[1], it can be disabled for all
but the oldest hard

I think that there should also be an option to not require a prompt before
shutting down, as this is quite annoying.

Why not move this process to shutdown time instead of boot time? The
user could walk away and let the computer finish checking the file
systems then shut down. If an error is detected, then the check would be
repeated at the next boot up.

Hi Bryce,
I mostly suspend my laptop, so shutting it down and rebooting is not
really done that often. Which means that I hit the day count more then I
hit the mount count. If you want, you can change the mount based
counting to a higher number with tune2fs (see the -c option in man
tune2fs). So
