" On the theory that there is "no need to scare the user about it now", ... One suspects that most of us, though, are happier without random fsck delays; the more worried among us would probably rather schedule regular checks at predictable times."
Like many here I've used one or two filesystems for a while now. I'd like to think I have a fairly good handle on when to worry about my data's integrity. That said, I am not a fs dev.
I'd love to see an article here on LWN, informed by fs devs, that gave me more than some vague waffle (which is called out as out of date here) in the man page.
Cheers
