I have disabled background fsck in my /etc/rc.conf with:

Does this mean that the system will wait for all non root
partitions
to fully fsck before coming up into multi-user mode ?
OR
Does it mean the system will boot up quickly into
multi-user mode, but
the non-root partitions will just not be mounted and/or
usable until I
fsck them by hand ?
thanks.
The former, as I can say with ample experience this morning.

I find both ways useless. If fsck background starts after a crash it literally
slows down the machine to a halt rendering it unusable.
If enable fsck to check the system prior to mounting device, it will take at
least 15-30 minutes for it to complete (in the event of a hard crash). Which
also translates to a downtime.
disabling fsck on the long run is a bad choice too as eventually the system
files will become corrupt beyond repair.
What is the solution here ?
Thx,

If you can't acceptably absorb a 30 minute down time, then why are you
running without backup power?
