I don't know which package to assign this bug to, and sorry if it has
been reported before - I couldn't find a report.
ext2/3 filesystems are regulary fsck'ed after a given number of boots if
those filesystems are part of the fixed disks. However removable USB
disks (I can only check for those, but I guess firewire at al. also
share this) are never fsck'ed automatically. This might me dangerous
because they are much more likely to be removed incorrectly (w/o
unmounting) and are attached/reattached frequently. I just realized that
my external disk was mounted hundreds of times without ever being
checked (and am sure that despite trying to be responsible, I sometimes
yanked the cable w/o unmounting)
