Can't think of anything other than occasional checks with the disks I've shown you. Other than that a bash script <scratches head>. But, can't remember the script. Looking through my bookshelf doesn't reveal anything either. Something that does a umount and then does an fsck and then drop a log or send a script to an e-mail address ?
