I knew that field, but it increases the number of "unnecessary" checks and
it doesn't avoid to my problem, as it appears "randomly", as it doesn't
matter whether on the last boot a fsck was run if "something happens" during
my normal activity using my computer and in the next reboot a new fsck is
needed.

I don't know what is causing that :S It happens "randomly" :-\ My sister and
I use totally different applications so... I really don't know where is the
problem T_T
