How safe is this?

In practice, I find that if the fs is marked as clean and unmounted
correctly, a forced fsck (either manually or by setting times/mount counts
with tune2fs) _never_ find anything much to bitch about...

... but, you never know.

I personally feel comfortable enough with the forced fsck every so often;
what is it, every 20th mount will force an fsck?
