[wplug] fsck running in background?

Hey,

I was trying to access a drive that I auto mount (/dev/hdc1) but when I
tried to access the mount point the terminal just sort of hung there. I
connected through another terminal and noticed that fsck was running.
Also, using 'ps' I could see that fsck was running on the partition that I
was trying to access. I don't remember starting fsck, so I can only guess
that a cron job or something is running this. Can anyone tell me what might
be causing this? I'm running Debian Sarge.
