/.autofsck continually updated every reboot

Sunday, 3 July 2011

[byers@f14 ~]$ uname -r
2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686.PAE

[Background:
 Re: backup copy of F14 boots, but can't login.
 endless recycle of login screen: fixed by 'touch /.autorelabel, reboot'.
 Still was unable to make   id:3:initdefault:  take effect.
 Ctrl-Alt-F2 does get me to text login screen.
 Also can get to runlevel 3 by appending '3' to kernel line]

Since then, I noticed I was getting a newly updated  /.autofsck
every time I rebooted.

Thinking this was indicating I needed to run fsck,
I did touch /forcefcsk, rebooted, and the system did the fsck,
no errors, needed no response from me.

Still  getting a newly updated  /.autofsck on every reboot.
Still no effect  id:3:initdefault in inittab.

Any advice re /.autofsck?
Does its continual reappearance indicate a problem?

thanks
Jack
