A newbie question...
Unlike Windows Linux checks the disks (not to thoroughly though as you've noticed)
This generally happens every 20 boots but it is possible to set that value - I'm not going to describe it as it involves the use of a potentially "dangerous" tool
Checking forced at boot..

It's easy to change the interval. For example if every 20 (I believe it's actually 30) times gets on your nerves, and you'd rather up that to 100, open up a terminal and enter this command (obviously change sda1 to your desired partition):
Code: Select all
sudo tune2fs -c 100 /dev/sda1-

If you don't like file system checks, don't run a journaled file system. Just use Fat32.
Or consider that an occasional minute is the price to pay for never ever needing to defrag.

If you want to loose data in a crash (which may happen in Mint too) use FAT32 - if you don't use ext3
But that was not the point here - it was about the check at boot. This is quite different in Elyssa as you may have noticed
