background_fsck=no does not work?

Hi!

on a 5.4-prerelease machine (dell 2850 dual cpu, running amd64), I have 
this in rc.conf:

fsck_y_enable="YES"
background_fsck="NO"


Still, I'm not certain that fsck is really run at startup. At least, 
running fsck on in multiuser reveals information like below, but perhaps 
that is normal for an active file system?

I'm having stability problems with this machine (it crashes sporadically) 
and I suspect it might have something to do with problems in the file 
system. Could this be true, or is the below stuff completely normal?

Thanks,
Palle
