Net Llama babbled on about:
> linux.nf isn't using a journaling filesystem?

yes. it uses ext3.

now pay attention every one:
the authors of ext3 state that you should STILL periodically run the fsck t 
verify that the drive itself isn't wigging out. Just cause the fs is 
journalled does NOT mean that the drive is not losing data.
So, the normal fsck the drive every 20 mounts is still a Good Idea(tm) and 
the Right Thing (c) to do

unfortunately, all my partitions had the same mount count, so I had to fsck 
every single one of them. I've since used tune2fs to change the counts so 
they are staggered
