The time-based fsck can be painful, because when one
of BitFolk's
servers is rebooted a high proportion of the VPSes on it won't have
been rebooted inside this time period (typically 6 months).
Therefore almost every VPS will fsck its filesystems at the same
time, causing massive IO load and a slow boot for everyone.
Having now realised this, I'm considering disabling the time-based
fsck by default.
I've started disabling this in new installs and have written this:

I've not yet decided whether I will go through and disable it for
existing customers yet, but if I do I will send a direct email
saying what, why and how to undo.
Cheers,
Andy
