It was one of the default checks, performed every 32 mounts. I could 
disable it, but if I did, I'd probably never run a full check again, 
since I'd never want to spend time on doing it. And the check is good 
for something I presume, otherwise it wouldn't have been implemented in 
the first place. Since I don't really mind having a forced fsck on 
shutdown, I wanted to go with that instead of disabling it all together.
