It already does this. The only time the auto-fsck will stop for user input is if there is a non-correctable error. Note that with ext2/ext3 there will be a forced fsck after a period of time or a number of reboots even if there's nothing wrong with the filesystem. You can set those intervals when the filesystem is first created or change them using mtune. On a headless system I *strongly* recommend a journalled filesystem so that the auto-fsck just replays the log. -- Joke template: Three guys walk into a bar. One of them is a wee bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability.
