Not to mention that if it fails, you'll definitely know in the morning 
about 5 AM when the @^&!@ phone starts ringing and your fsck is stuck 
waiting for your manual input on a box you can't get to.

(If you think the box is going to fsck and have errors, it's definitely 
not a good idea not to monitor it.)
