It may be far worse than that.   If you have separate partitions, and
apache needs /var/www to be mounted in order for it to function
correctly, letting the boot process proceed before the other partitions
are fsck'ed and rebooted will cause apache to fail.  Trying to run fsck
in parallel is a very, very dangerous thing to do in general, since you
don't know what partitions might be needed by system daemons during the
boot-up process.  That's dependent on how the system administrator may
have set up the system.    So it's not enough just to wait for the root
partition to be fsck'ed; *all* partitions must be checked before the
rest of the init scripts are allowed to proceed.

Running fsck in parallel is not the answer.
