I only run it when needed, i.e. if I find disk issues. Linux will run FSCK itself if you have a dirty filesystem (e.g. often after a crash). I don't think it's a great idea to do it regularly as it's the type of tool that can trash your filesystem completely if it encounters problems, such as datacenters thinking your server is down in the middle of a long FSCK (which can take hours) and then the disk is toast.

Yes, and isn't the -F to over-ride journaling, which doesn't like fsck?
