Unnecessary, if you want your filesystems checked, set their mount count to something big (like 100 times) to any disks you want and upon reboot they will automatically be checked.

In this way, the user may choose to skip the normal disk check when in a hurry (perhaps skipping the depth disk check ), however the counter of the mount is incremented in any case.
