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.
QUOTE
-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
That was a productive idea. I found this entry in boot.msg:
fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
I would interpret that to mean that the last time that fsck was done
was 13-Mar-2008, unless that was the date of the latest edition of
fsck ???
Thanks for the clue :-)
