IMO automatic time-interval and mount-count fscks are stupid. i don't see that they do anything useful.
they just cause me to be annoyed by a long fsck on every reboot because I (typically) reboot my systems once every six months or more. or 20
It seems to me that the concept of BTRFS with scrubbing is a good one. If you have a BTRFS filesystem with RAID-1 for data and meta-data (which can be done with only one disk) then you can scrub it after boot and not delay the boot process. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
