Default Re: checking disk for errors

Its good in any case, EXT is very good at surviving power outages, as is many Linux filesystems.
This is because of most linux filesystems are journalized and from what I hear thats a very good thing.
Now so far Ubuntu is the only one I know that does a disk check every 20 or so boots, the others not so much but meh its nothing to panic about.
