fsck checks /dev/hda3 every reboot

I like to think the title says it all. Only thing missing is that it never used to do it...it just started doing it. It's more of an annoyance than anything since everything else works fine. Oh by the way, it's a SPARC system so hda3 is the Whole Disk partition.

Sorry but no. It doesn't say it all - far from it in fact.

So what does it say? The ysck should output results like I fixed this I did that. Have you tried fscking the file system verbosely? Maybe you have a dud file or journal it can recognise but can't fix. Maybe there's some daemon running that prevents the file system from being unmounted cleanly. What's the file system - reiserfs?

Something is telling it to do a check.

Not to worry...its stopped doing it now
