>From my point of view, I would also appreciate if the system would tell me at shutdown that a fsck will occur at the next boot giving the user at least these possibilities (other people might want more possibilities): - perform it right away and automatically shutdown when complete - tell it to not run the fsck immediately nor at the next boot (with reminders later) - for people with several disks: when a fsck is needed for a disk, add the option to run the fsck on all the disks, even if it is not needed yet; this would minimize how often the user will be prompted for a fsck, as all the disks would be checked simultaneously.
