Yes. However, I wasn't inquiring about the behaviour of fsck, I was
asking the OP whether fsck exhibits the correct behaviour when run in
that fahion, i.e. without specifying any filesystems. My intent was for
the OP to verify both that the correct settings are present
in /etc/fstab, and that the settings are being read correctly. Evidently
I didn't structure my query very well.
