Hmm. fsck should run this automatically if you give it the -c option, or at least that is how I'm interpreting what I've read. I guess I'll try that next.

I'm watching the process now. I hope that the fact that the seconds are ticking and there are no apparent errors in /var/log/messages is a good sign.
