Uh, this might be a quick question, since it's a little abstract.
I'm dual booting and I've noticed that every time I boot into Arch after I've booted into one of my other systems, there is a forced file system check. It's not a huge deal, because I use Arch almost exclusively, but I have to say, I cringe at the thought of having to boot into one of the other systems now.
How would you trouble shoot this? I have also never seen a system where after every ~20 reboots, a file system check is mandatory. This might just be my ignorance here, so a reference to some background about that part of the boot process might suffice.
Thanks in advance.

Is the other operative system a windows? Maybe the hardware clock is continuously changing, so the last write looks like in the future?
^ what he said Also, the hard disk check can be set. I set mine to every 30 days (previously was rebooting up to 10 times a day from playing with kernel configs). Its not a hard-coded check, and can be (I think) cancelled with Ctrl-C, based on some other mails going around here a few days back.
