OK, so I "read the source Luke" :-) Looks to me like if I create a file called /fsckoptions and put a -p in it then the system startup scripts will automaticly check the filesystesms. However, having said that. i power cycled a RedHat 6.0 machine I have at work this morning, and it ran fsck automatilcy _withou_ stoping for manual interventin, and it does not have this file. Now I'm puzzled.
