Automatic periodic fscks have long annoyed many people and don't do any
good, which is why we have stopped doing them on internal disks. It
would likely be much more of an annoyance on removable media. Ext3/4
don't need such checks even if you unplug them without unmounting. For
the filesystems that do ( fat, ntfs ), we don't have a way of detecting
when they need checked, or decent tools to properly check them anyhow.
** Changed in: gnome-volume-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
