BTW: FreeBSD5 supports the fsck of a unclean filesystem in the background. (Actually it supports to mount unclean filesystems because they are "always" consistent and do reclaiming of unreferenced objects in a fsck in background based on a snapshot)
I am not sure why the softupdates are so reliable, that no fsck is needed, but I know it is pretty cool to do it in background only, especially for notebooks. And I agree that background checks of long running systems may catch problems - however I am not sure how a consitent FS view is best created for that.
