I still say we should just disable the checks entirely.  No other 
filesystem still does this nonsense.  It's just a holdover from ext2, 
which had it as a leftover from ext, which had it out of convention from 
minix, which did it as purely pedantic ( or did it actually perform some 
maintenance then that needed done periodically?  I can't remember ).

On the other hand, your solution looks like a great improvement.
