Hi, On the same note, /fastboot makes sure no fsck is done. The conditional if statement skips everything if that is there.
This is useful if you need the box up as much as possible, and reboots only slow things down as little as possible because even if the box did not reboot gracefully (power outage or something) there will be no lengthy fsck (of course, this also means there could be filesystem corruption, but you can't have it both ways). If you want to make sure fsck is performed each time (or not performed each time, whichever you choose) then you may want to comment out or delete the second last line in /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh. That line is: "rm -f /fastboot /forcefsck" because it will delete these files if they exist after the checks have been performed.
