I have a machine with many file system errors.

I booted into rescue mode - I tried to run "e2fsck -p /dev/hda1"
but it says something about inconsistency and cannot run with -p.
So then I just run "e2fsck /dev/hda1" and I have to answer MANY
fixes with a "y".

How can you just tell it to fix it and dont ask?
I'd hate to say how many 'y' I have answered.

The filesystem is ext3, I was surprised this even happened.
