I want to get the system up so that it has sshd and other things up, so
that if there is a problem with fsck, it can be fixed remotely; so I would
have "noauto" in fstab, and then in rc.local just before starting innd
would do fsck -p /dev/{news-spool-filesystems}
Currently I am using a script which runs parallel fsck -y:s on the
filesystems until they are clean, so I have a different approach now.
