sorry for the confusing comment...

on your box... try to run "e2fsck /dev/hda1"   if your / is on /dev/hda1

normal bootups is configured to do the right thing in the
right sequence so is NOT an problem .... like a user running
e2fsck on a mounted root partition .,,, a very bad idea...

but if you umount it first.. than its cool
	mount -n -o ro /dev/hda1  - take / offline first
	e2fsck /dev/hda1
	mount /dev/hda1  -- put it back online

	and always a good idea to look at any warnings/error messages
	spewed out by the system...
