Partition isn't being checked after resizing it

Hello,

I merged my /home partition that had some unallocated space to enlarge my /home, using Gparted Live.
Everything went well, no error messages, but it seems like the mandatory filesystem check that occurs every 23:rd (?) boot now doesn't trigger.
I get the "sda5 has been mounted xx times, will check after next reboot..." message but the check doesn't happen.
First I thought I read the message wrong but I rebooted three times with the same result: "...will check after next reboot"

My fstab :

UUID=06619af8-7017-43c9-a161-a85856b90238 /home ext3 defaults,nosuid,noatime,barrier=1 0 1
UUID=64c5c2a7-1343-4c22-b2d4-631fab4f816e / ext3 defaults,noatime,barrier=1 0 1
UUID=86226d16-affc-4722-9869-c56925e04199 /boot ext3 defaults,noatime,barrier=1 0 1
UUID=adfbe0d1-98be-4417-8259-944a3689fabe swap swap defaults 0 1

fdisk -l gives this (sda 5 is my /home partition) :

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

Any idea?

Thanks.

Re: Partition isn't being checked after resizing it

Checked the wiki page and this command; shutdown -Fr now triggers the fsck (all filesystems are clean).
I'll have to wait 23 boot cycles to determine if the automated fsck still works.
