You can specify forced checking in /etc/fstab.
Like this:
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# <device> <mountpoint> <fstype> <opt> <dump> <fsckorder> <check>
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 1

ok, but will that invoke fsck with the -y option? I need e2fsck to AUTOMATICALLY be invoked with -y option, and no human intervention... so that when I boot up my computer (which is in my closet with no monitor) I won't have to hook a monitor up to the computer to type the fsck -y, when it could be done automatically.
