[PLUG] Configuring logwatch

Two issues with logwatch on the new desktop.

1. How do I specify adding a fortune toward the end of the report? The
logwatch docs tell me I can, but it's not done automatically when Service =
ALL is specified. I've not seen a doc how to do this.

2. fdisk shows this for the SSD:
Disk identifier: BD357C2B-8440-4A4B-A6C5-77C5053595C4

Device        Start       End   Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1      2048    206847    204800   100M EFI System
/dev/sda2    206848  67315711  67108864    32G Linux swap
/dev/sda3  67315712 488397134 421081423 200.8G Linux filesystem

sda3 is formatted ext4:

/dev/sda2        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/sda3        /                ext4        defaults         1   1

But, today's logwatch report includes this notice:

  --------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------


  WARNING:  Ext4 Errors Present
     sda3:
        INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem
        write access will be enabled during recovery
        orphan cleanup on readonly fs
        1 orphan inode deleted
        recovery complete

  ---------------------- Kernel End -------------------------

It's not read only as the root directory. I'd appreciate someone
interpreting this warning.
