Diskdoctor sux!

One thing I have noticed on my A590. If you visit the GURU while doing I/O,
when you reboot, the hard disk goes beserk. It seems to be doing 800 time the
amount of work when going through s:startup-sequence et. al.

I dont know whether this is doing some type of fsck or what, but I haven't
had any corruptions yet (quick, where is a piece of wood, touch).

A590's have ffs on them. Anyone throw any further light on this.
