the system will fsck your disk if its not properly shutdown
using "-y" to fsck is a bad idea, unless oyu know why its fsck'ing in the
first place
- if its bad mmory... i dont want the disk touched
assuming that it was shutdown properly ...
- if your bios time is whacky... so can fsck...
- if you have bad memory... it will try to fix the drive according to
its bad memory content....
- if its a brand new disk... there probably wasnt anything
wrong with it if it installed and was rebooted a few times
before the last sleep of 2 months
- somebody else played with your system and powered it off incorrectly
the magic pixie dust did it
your best bet is to re-install again...
if it happens again..swapp out either the memory or disk
or maybe even a bad cpu that has gone bonkers
