This sort of disposed of 8 out of 13 GB on one of my systems after a  
growfs failure, and after a >24 hrs fsck run... I guess that rsync before  
fsck could have recovered quite a lot of such data (I can't tell, as I  
didn't have full image backups).

Probably not fsck's fault, but if there is a major file system corruption,  
it can wreak havoc.
