Il your rootfs is 1To it's gonna take 2 hours to run fsck, but if you have smaller partition like - / => 10G - /usr => 10G ... /data => 1To, it's gonna take 5 mins. Just update your fsck to check only / and /usr so you know your system is clean. And you can run run fsck yourself for /data. So you are in control ! You can't ask developer to handle every single case of your life.
