Hmm, yeah, yuck... I wonder if manually running a fsck resets the
counter used for the auto check? If so, perhaps you want to schedule a
reboot and fsck for some early morning weekly event.
Yes, manually running fsck resets the counter. You can also change
the count, or even turn off auto-checking with tune2fs if it is an
ext2/ext3 file system.
