[WBEL-users] Force FSCK every reboot

[Joshua Zukerman]

One way I know is to set up autofsck to check the partitions after a bad
shutdown.
To do this, edit /etc/sysconfig/autofsck (create the file if it is not
there) and put this in the contents:
AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes

As I said before, this will only check the partitions on boot after a bad
shutdown (ie the drives were not unmounted properly).
Probably not what you are looking for, but a good start.

would much rather have that done automatically on ANY reboot, so that if I
have to cycle the power, I know the chances of the machine coming to
'online' status are much greater.
