Power outages are not the only thing which c

I have no idea how long it might take to check a multi-terabyte

seeing fsck checking partitions after unclean shutdown, but when everything's
okay, there's no problem running into MUM *afterwards*.
exactly like me i have
background_fsck="NO"
in rc.conf
unix doesn't crash every few hours so it's really not a problem to wait a
