Indeed.  But this doesn't affect the length of time the FS will
require to complete an fsck...  If the filesystem is not unmounted
cleanly (as will happen sometimes if the system crashes for whatever
reason), it will be marked dirty and the OS will automatically fsck it
on the next boot.  As long as this takes, it will probably not be
longer than restoring the whole thing from archives...
