fsck

Usually the frequency for forcing fsck to check a cleanly umounted file
system is related to the size of the filesytem.

You can alter this frequency with tune2fs, assuming an ext{2,3} file
system.

-c max-mount-counts
Adjust the number of mounts after which the
filesystem will be checked by e2fsck(8).
If max-mount-counts is 0 or -1, the number
of times the filesystem is mounted will be
disregarded by e2fsck(8) and the kernel.
Staggering the mount-counts at which filesystems
are forcibly checked will avoid all
filesystems being checked at one time
when using journaled filesystems.

If something is causing a problem during the boot up sequence, assuming
the bootlog process is turned on, you can have a look at the file in

/var/log/boot.msg
