If there's been more than X days since last fsck, there will be one, independent of what the mount count is.

That was my impression, too, but I'm beginning to wonder. I'm not sure that anybody really knows (not even the guys@empeg) as this is the third time (at least) that this topic has come up and no definitive answers have been provided.

I'm beginning to wonder, because my empeg gets used about 8 hours per day on average (I listen to it at work through headphones) and while I have only done a few re-synchs in the last two weeks or so, it has been at least two to three months since my last fsck.

Does anybody really know for sure just what/when triggers an fsck?
