Looks like file system checks during boot have all been disabled in
voyage. Wasn't quite aware of that myself. But it's better anyway,
cause on errors the system might drop you into a shell to which you
wouldn't have any remote access.

You can find out when a file system was last checked yourself btw, just
look at the output of tune2fs -l /dev/hda1

Well then, run the check while the system is up and running. Just make
sure the root fs is mounted read only, which it is be default (else
remountro):
e2fsck /dev/hda1
