I agree with all, and in special with this last one: I *do* run multiple
filesystems, and having them checked one at a time makes the difference
between waiting 30+ minutes, or only 5 minutes for a shutdown/startup.
The option of checking the FSs one at a time is (on my laptops) very
important.

And, of course, beats having an unusable system for more than half an
hour.
