What do others do ? This might not be helpful. I'm replying to the question "what do others do." I never use large filesystems (large numbers of files/directories) on linux. I do all of this on solaris/opensolaris with ZFS. The ability to scrub a filesystem while it's mounted and in use seems like such a brainless obvious feature. Whenever my linux systems do fsck themselves, I just let it run. Since my filesystems are not huge, they don't take too long.
