It's just a tad bit more clever with block allocation than those other file- systems. You don't need to run fsck manually, on a regular basis. It's there to fix things when problems appear or you didn't dismount the filesystems normally. In that case, /etc/rc runs it anyway... in some rare cases you need to run it from single user mode, but hey, you'll notice when you need to do that :> Cheers, J.
