Yah, remove the fsck from /etc/daily entirely... what it is doing is
running fsck -n on a live filesystem, so it will ALWAYS report (but
not try to correct) problems-which-are-not-problems.
I've never quite understood why that fsck is in there. At best you
would get information on the fragmentation on the drive out of it.
