If the filesystem was cleanly unmounted, fsck does nothing, except on every 30th mount (unless you have changed to with e2fstune). The filesystem should mount whether you run fsck or not. On the other hand, having a battery run out during a fsck operation could be damaging, so the idea of skipping this check when on battery power is a good one. -- Neil Bothwick Do hungry crows have ravenous appetites?
