I know that its running fsck because when I load X after the loading the
hardrive starts seeking and you hear it spinning heavily.  If I do a ps
-aux it lists among all other processes running the fsck process.  It
doesn't show it at -n either just fsck.  Is it possible that there's
something wrong with my Xserver and/or Xclient?  If so should I just
reinstall these?
