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) NOTE: i've removed the ext3 case because this also applies to some other filesystem types as described in duplicated bugs.
