Automatically force fsck after some number of reboots
Authored by: gmachen on Aug 14, '03 12:33:40PM

According to Apple, apparently one is not supposed to do an fsck when using journaling. It gives false alarms that don't need repairing. Moreover, if fsck is run anyway, the flag that prevents affecting any repairs is supposed to be set.

Am I interpreting this correctly?

Yes, you are not supposed to run fsck with journaling on.

In other words, journaling (supposedly) prevents the errors that fsck would have to fix.
