Don’t ask how I stumbled in on this, I don’t know myself. But looking at the “ps -ef” output I saw logger sitting there. I was suspecting a hard drive issue so I was wondering what /var/log/fsck/checkfs was so I went to look. The directory /var/log/fsck did not exist. I created it and the file showed up. Then logger disappeared from the process space. I don’t know if the directory ever existed as I’m not that much of a hack. But it looks like this directory does not get created. That seems to be a bug. The file checkfs now contains:
Log of fsck -C -R -A -a
Mon Apr 1 09:09:18 2013
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2

I am also running the web-UI diagnostic (which seems to be hung at 10% for the last half hour) so perhaps fsck is run from that. Don’t know, just know that the log directory didn’t exist. Perhaps you should look into it.
