No it doesn't. Absolutely not.

After an unclean shutdown fsck runs in the background. And sometimes it
can't do that. Here's an example:

Jul 23 17:54:01 zoe fsck: /dev/amrd0s1g: CANNOT CREATE SNAPSHOT
/d1/.snap/fsck_snapshot: File too large
Jul 23 17:54:01 zoe fsck:
Jul 23 17:54:01 zoe fsck: /dev/amrd0s1g: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck
MANUALLY.


The /etc/defaults/rc.conf file has a comment on this too:
background_fsck="YES"   # Attempt to run fsck in the background where
possible.
