As a default K/X/Ubuntu will run fsck (check and repair a Linux file system) at the every (about) 30th boot. Sometimes this is annoying. With AutoFsck you can easily change interval between checks and move the check on shutdown.
Commands/programs on the konsole
Force fsck on the next boot:

I'm testing AutoFsck and it seems to work. It is checking all Linux partitions on shutdown when fsck counter between checks is full.

Description: show the number of reboots before next forced fsck
This package displays during startup and halt the number of mounts for each
ext2/3 partition before an fsck will be forced, so that the user will not be
suprised.
.
Very useful for people that often reboot (laptop users for example)

AutoFsck
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck
AutoFsck is a script which automates periodic disk checking in such a way that it no longer bothers the user at boot every 30-ish times, and is streamlined in a friendly graphical user interface.
How Does it Work?
It's really quite simple, every time you shut down, AutoFsck finds information on your disks. Every linux partition has two important number associated with it, one is the number of times it has been mounted, the other is the number of times it is allowed to before being checked. AutoFsck looks at these, and if your drives are due for checking it asks if you want to check them. If you say yes, your drives are checked before your computer shuts down. If you say no, AutoFsck will ensure that the check will not run next time your computer boots. You will then be prompted again the next time you shut down.
NOTE - AutoFsck is not dangerous, it does not stop fsck from running if the filesystem in question is flagged as unclean during boot.
