Was it a mistake to 'FSCKFIX=yes'?

[infiniphunk]

I was having an issue on the laptop running Ubuntu where it was frequently prompting to become root, remount /dev/hda1 and run fsck at boot. I edited /etc/default/rcS so that FSCKFIX=yes instead of =no. Now when it boots it still shows that it did e2fsck and that /dev/hda1 is clean. Now I googled around and found a few pages related to this(that's where I got the idea in the first place) and I read the MAN page for e2fsck and fsck, but It's still not making perfect sense to me. Does anyone know if I have to worry about this, or should the laptop be nice and stable now? Thanks!!

I let filesystem checks run at boot time.

If you want to rid yourself of that, you can exclude a particular partition from such checks in /etc/fstab.
