Can the check be ran manually like you can with reiser? That way instead of doing it a boot every 60 days it can be ran while the system is idle.
If I recall, the partitions can not be mounted during the check. Otherwise, I think they would have already established a cron job instead of checking at boot time... I can see this as an argument supporting multiple small partitions for the system (as I do have), and then large "work" partitions for /srv, /local, /data, "/whatever". These work parts could be cron-scripted to be periodically umount/checked (ie monthly), while leaving the remaining system partitions at the mercy of the normal boot-count-trigger mechanism. Would the fsck program be intelligent enough to only check the out-of-range partitions...and thus provide a less-painful wait when it happens? I don't know...(thus this is a question...)
