We run a large number of sites who are staffed with non-computer
people.

Every few weeks we get some file system weirdness such as data destined
for one file ending up in another.  There is no way that this can be
a bug in application software.

I am beginning to suspect that it is the file system which is getting
out of wack.

Because of the low computer skill level at these sites it is a
real battle to get any normal SA things done, like for example a
regular FSCK of the file systems (i.e. once a week).

Is a regular FSCK required ?  Could it solve some of our problems ?

Perhaps then I can convince them to invest the time.

Regards
