There must be a reason to do fsck every now and then (once a year)?
Could it be that some cleanup is needed even for ext3? I also have a
server up for more than half a year and I was wondering whether to
reboot it just out of precautions. I refrain from kernel updates for
internal machines, it just gives a lot of work due to driver
re-compilation. (Don't fix it if it ain't broken :-)
