skipping fsck with soft-updates enabled

[Scott Oertel]

I am wondering what kind of problems would occur, besides lost space, if 
after a system crash a fsck is skipped. According to the documentation, 
with soft-updates enabled, the file system would be consistant, there 
would just be lost resources to be recovered which I am assuming can be 
safely done at a later time to avoid long periods of downtime during 
peek hours.

"Soft updates control the ordering of filesystem updates such that the 
only inconsistencies in the on-disk representation are that free blocks 
and inodes may be claimed as "in use" in the on-disk bitmaps when they 
are really unused."

So, would there be other issues if fsck wasn't ran right away after a 
system crash?

Thanks,
Scott
