The problems with a background fsck is you still have to run fsck,
which can take 10 minutes on a large volume when it's idle, and who
knows how long as a background process when the system's up. It might
not even finish at all if a user starts modifying a large file, causing
the snapshot file that the background fsck is using to grow and fill up
the filesystem. Unlikely, but possible if your disk is almost full
already.
