[Tfug] fsck question

[bpoag at comcast.net]

Might I ask why you're running fsck automatically? 

Running fsck against a mounted filesystem = bad. 

By doing so, you're essentially corrupting your filesystem all the time for the sake of repairing it.

Subject: [Tfug] fsck question 

I have been letting fsck automatically run on my Ubuntu 9.10 install 
automatically with no problems. Recently fsck showed some problems. 

I am trying to figure out how to force a run of fsck to correct these 
problems, or at least show what they are so I can fix them. I looked in 
/etc with no luck in finding anything to do with fsck. The man page 
doesn't give me any help on this.
