Checked for logs on older systems. Only Ubuntu 8.04 has an entry - see below (apparently they are made daily on startup). The others (like 12.04) say "nothing logged yet" as the bug says. But, as I said, the fsck program is interactive and should still perform its check and if warranted, repair functions so I will keep it activated. I see nothing to gain by leaving it disabled, and plenty to lose. I takes only a minute or so extra time every 40 boots as I have it set.
Ubuntu 8.04 fsck log entry (there are none for past days, just the current session):
Code:
dn@dell-desktop:/var/log/fsck$ cat checkroot
Log of fsck -C3 -a -t ext3 /dev/sda3

fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
/dev/sda3: clean, 413455/4800512 files, 13505578/19200038 blocks
EDIT: In newer releases, this information is now part of /var/log/boot.log
Boot log lines from Lubuntu 12.10:
Code:
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
Lubuntu-1210: clean, 304033/1921360 files, 2807004/7680000 blocks
This partition checked has a label which is why you see "Lubuntu-1210" (the label) rather than /dev/sda1
