The mention of reboots makes me think of how fsck gets run.  rc.sysinit
creates a /.autofsck file after the system is up.  As part of normal
shutdown/reboot, the file is removed.  If the file is present when
rc.sysinit starts, the system wasn't shutdown cleanly and fsck needs to
be run.

Would a "needs.recovery" file be of value?
