Thank you,
The bootup process forces the system to run fsck every 34 boots.
Historically it gives me the message to that effect and they gives a
progress bar with a spinner and a percent completed.
I became concerned because it acted differently today in that it gave
out about a half dozen messages that looked like they might be an error
found.
I was "indisposed" and was not able to take note of the exact message.
It also had error numbers and what looked like a 128 bit hex number.
Each time it wrote a message the progress bar was recreated under the
message and continued on from there.
Someday I hope to figure out how to get the check to run on my schedule
so I can plan it for times I am not in a hurry.
