Good question. Few weeks ago after kernel update one of my servers didn't start. I had to do fsck by hand.
Regards.

If your system boots after an unclean shutdown you can set it up to do an autofsck, e.g. an unattended and hands-free fsck. Just go to /etc/sysconfig/autofsck and change the option from 'no' to 'yes'. The next time you reboot after an unclean shitdown, for whatever reason, you will be prompted to say 'Yes to stop autofsck'. If you don't respond it will do an automatic autofsck.
Keep warm Sharon.

yes but this will not answer Y to fix the issues on the disk which is what the OP asked for
I checked on 2 of my systems as this is something I have looked for recently. Neither of my systems have the file /etc/sysconfig/autofsck there is only an autofs file. Do I need to create this file?

Suggest you try the fedora solution mentioned here:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=57764
Which is to create a file like following:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/autofsck
AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes PROMPT=yes AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=10 AUTOFSCK_OPT=""
From a quick read of the relevant parts of /etc/rc.sysinit on one of
my centos 4.4 systems, it looks likely this will work here too- but I have not tested it at all.

oops- I then meant to suggest that you consider using the -y option in the AUTOFSCK_OPT string
that's weird there's no /etc/sysconfig/autofsck file im using CentOS 4.4
so what i need to do is a file autofsck with this variables inside right?
AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes PROMPT=yes AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=10 AUTOFSCK_OPT="-y"
specifically the AUTOFSCK_OPT= should have -y in it?

There is no such file there. You will have to create it.
issue these 2 commands.
echo "AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5" > /etc/sysconfig/autofsck echo "AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/autofsck
pls see the below URL
