you may postpone fsck when using softupdates. It is clearly stated in
softupdate documents you may find (McKusick was one of the authors).
that's what i do.
Then, you suffer a performance hit when fsck'ing in bg. No such thing with
hammer, fwiw.
as someone proposed doing tests with writing random disk blocks, i would
rather write make a program that would flip random memory bit every few
minutes.
If you're assuming that even the computer itself ain't reliable, how the
