[MacDV] My Mac is taking three times longer to boot up...

[Mark M.Florida]

At first I read that as "What The Fsck?"  :-P

fsck stands for "file system check" and it's pretty much the equivalent 
of running Disk First Aid under Mac OS 9.  It just checks for general 
file system errors and attempts to correct them.  The commercial app 
Disk Warrior is like fsck on steroids, and can usually fix major file 
system problems so you can save your data from a corrupt disk.  
Although now with journaled disk formats, problems like corrupt file 
systems are becoming a thing of the past.
