    As I do not have any physical access to the server, I touched /forcefsck
    and reboot the server. Surprinsingly, I didn't find any fsck related logs in the
    different log files (boot.log, dmesg, messages.log). The fsck must have been
    performed since the /forcefsck has been removed.
    Do you know if this is logged elsewhere ?
