[wplug] fsck running in background?

[Poyner, Brandon]

You could also specify an interval of time between file system checks,
say 6 months without a fsck before the check is forced.  See the man
page on tune2fs for how to check your settings (eg: tune2fs -l
/dev/sda1) and change them if so desired.

Many systems are set up so that fsck is run after every Nth time that a
volume is mounted.
