Hi folks!

We are running several server system with ext4 as file system.
An Ubuntu 14.04 server installation has disabled the periodic file
system check per default:
# uname -r
3.13.0-55-generic
# tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep mount
Last mounted on:          /
Default mount options:    user_xattr acl
Last mount time:          Thu Jun 18 11:04:23 2015
Maximum mount count:      -1

It seems this change was introduced with Ubuntu 13.10:
*https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/437298-fsck-not-needed-ext4-filesystems

Therefore my questions:
* Is a regular file system check recommended for ext4? (i.e. for
consistency)
* Is there any detailed documentation what happens while a check is run?

Thanks a lot, Georg
