With -p most of things which need the -y flag are considered fatal and fsck
will exit.  Thus this is not a solution, it still would require me drive
down there to run the fsck manually.

What I'm searching for:
- run check for the news file system only if it is not clean, and all
problems fixable by fsck will be fixed 
- all other file systems are fsck'd normally (with -p, without -y).

This would allow me to reboot the system without forced fsck on news file
system (15+ minutes), and will allow the system to reboot automatically in
case of panic.
