fsck seems to run fine on boot too.

It still seems like a big coincidence that the word airdrawndagger appeared 
there as this machine never in it's life saw that wifi. Although The smart TV 
it's connected to via HDMI did...

Is it too paranoid to consider some kind of malware from another machine on 
the network?
