So what happens when users install a distro that either doesn't check their
filesystem
regularly, or attempts to check in background, which can't be completed due to
system activity
etc, and they loose their data? I'd be thinking that having the filesystem
periodically checked
would be a good thing, to ensure my data stays in tact.
