    I did set this in /etc/rc.conf:
    fsck_y_enable="YES"

    But I was wondering if this might be a good idea too:
    (looking at the defaults)

    fsck_y_enable="NO" # Set to YES to do fsck -y if the initial preen fails.
    background_fsck="YES" # Attempt to run fsck in the background where possible.
    background_fsck_delay="60" # Time to wait (seconds) before starting the fsck.

    ..might it not be prudent to set 'background_fsck="NO"' when running in
    secure mode?

    Eventhough I shut down carefully, sometimes it still feels the need to run
    fsck (even with soft updates)...but when running securelevel, is it
    actually going to accomplish anything?
