[joan at iaeste-catalunya:~]0 $cat /etc/fstab

Looks like Pass# column is certainly wrong, reading the man page
suggests that / should be 1. I'd have /fs/std-var/ second and the
others afterwards. Will the fs's be remount rw as per fstab after
bgfsck?

On a related isue, what does fsck do with fs's on vinum volumes with
regard to sequential/parallel fsck'ing?

I saw /some/ bfsck running, but ISTR that not for all fs's. I'll test
again when I get to the console after modifying fstab.
