I think I would prefer the decision to be based on time elapsed since
the last check - perhaps with a nag message so that I have the option
to defer till next time if I am short of time or battery power.
Of course that still only helps if you do reboot occasionally.
This actually makes a lot of sense.
I do try to keep as many of my filesystems as possible mounted read-only
(ideally everything but /var and /home) so I suppose I could have cron
run a regular fsck.
This also makes some sense, though not quite so much. Especially
on your laptop :-)
P.S. to include something relevent to the original thread, I have
use both Reiserfs and Ext3, and have never found enough performance
or reliability difference to worry about - so for me the main
advantges of each are:
ext3 - more complere set of tools, such as dump/restore
IMO, this is the single most important issue with any
of these file systems. They are all good it seems. But the
additional support varies widely.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
