Not in a configuration file; just drop a forcefsck file in /:
sudo touch /forcefsck
This will force a check on the next boot.

I code because I've always liked it and it fits my brain, and it pays the bills. I like helping others, being in a productive team, staying relevant, thinking about improvements, and getting things done. Nature is always nice to observe.

In Ubuntu and derivatives (specifically Linux Mint 17.2), is there a setting in a config file somewhere to run "fsck -y" on boot?
I lost power, and the computer successfully rebooted, but I just want to run fsck to take care of any potential issues before they actually cause trouble.
