Hi,
when I as root do "touch /forcefsck" and reboot, then fsck will be done.
But afterwards one has less free memory available than normal.
Example:
used mem immediately after login:
  without fsck during boot:  98 MB (this the normal level here)
  with fsck during boot   : 139 MB
So, there is a memory leak of about 41 MB.

Please send the output of cat /proc/meminfo (a) before running fsck,
(b) after running fsck, and then (c) after running "echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".

Just tried it out.
Doing "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" solves the problem.
