Mostly got hits about how to run fsck. I tried your search criteria and found the one about tune2fs. I ran -- tune2fs -T and got ...(29-May-2006). That's the same date I see in the log every time fsck runs. Sounds like a problem. I'm going to look at this command some more and see if I can dig any other information out. However, it would seem that running e2fsck would automatically re-set that date, but maybe there is some special type of e2fsck running on my machine that isn't driven by date. On the other hand, 29-May-2006 is a long time ago. Surely an auto-fsck should have been run since then. Pretty strange.
