how does debian know how many times it has been rebooted? (was disable dosfsck)

["debian@ausipos.com" <debian@ausipos.com>]

Hi All,

Well my subject just about says it all and I know its not really laptop 
specific but..

I presume that there is a script somewhere in my init.d that checks how 
many times each partition has been mounted and when that number is 
reached does a fsck..

is this correct? can anyone tell me what it is?!!

the end result I am after is a script that I can copy & modify to enable 
dosfsck to check my vfat drives after every X boots as opposed to every 
boot.

Thanks to Michelle for pointing me in the right direction so far..

If anyone can provide a solution please cc me as I seem to be having 
problems getting mail delivered from debian laptop.

Cheers,

Ben.
