JFS partition after force shutdown needs fsck all the time

Basically, I have a problem that everytime I do a force shutdown, my JFS /files partition doesnt mount as it wants to be fsck'ed with jfs_fsck before.

Once I do that it's all happy again, says nothing was wrong.

jfs_fsck version 1.1.14, 06-Apr-2009
processing started: 2/27/2010 14.43.52
Using default parameter: -p
The current device is:  /dev/mapper/holm-files
Block size in bytes:  4096
Filesystem size in blocks:  159362048
**Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log
Filesystem is clean.

Is there a way of making the system do an fsck on it's own if the partition doesn't mount and then reattempt the mount?

Thanks

I can't really help you but I suggest you to do a backup of your files before it will get worse.
(I tell you that because my fsck on jfs failed and I have bad superblock now.)

Re: JFS partition after force shutdown needs fsck all the time

I don't believe there is anything actively wrong with the partition though.

It's just when I do a force shutdown it complains - quite naturally. But i'd like Arch to do an FSCK as part of bootup if it fails to mount this drive.
