[DM-MUG] Disk Utility Strangeness

[Erickson, Lyle]

I'm kind of new to the group (only two meetings under my belt), so if this kind of question is inappropriate for the mailing list, please just let me know.  Thank you!

The Short Question
Can I safely ignore a "Volume header needs minor repair" message on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4 (journaled HFS+)?

More Detail
According to docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107250, the message is benign.  However, it is a little bit confusing because it says "This document applies to Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier" as well as "Products affected...Mac OS X 10.3 or later when journaling is on."  Does that include 10.4?

Some History
1) Sunday I ran Disk Utility verify, got the "Volume header needs minor repair" on my boot volume
2) Booted from OS X CD, ran Disk Utility repair
3) Rebooted, verified the error was gone
4) Within a few days, "Volume header needs minor repair" was back 
5) Booted from OS X CD, ran Disk Utility repair again
6) Rebooted, verified the error was gone
7) Within a few days, "Volume header needs minor repair" was back (again)
8) Found the previously mentioned Apple article, which refers to fsck and not Disk Utility.  Although I assume Disk Utility is a front-end to fsck, I tested it by...
9) Rebooted in single-user mode
10) Ran /sbin/fsck -nf and got the same "Volume header needs minor repair" 

Can anybody help me out?  I've exhausted my googling skills on this one.  Thank you!
