Unfortunately, experimenting with other filesystems will have to wait
until I have a spare drive. I don't know of a way to convert to other
filesystems on the fly :-) Also, the need to defer fsck seems like a
poor reason to go through the trouble of switching my home PC's
filesystem :-)
Oops, I stripped out the attribution:

Why not just run fsck manually (i.e. shutdown -RF now) whenever you
want. If you do it frequently enough, you'll never hit the automatic
checking counter: you'll only get caught if you forget.
