In case you don't know (it's in man fsck), if you want to cut
down the fsck time to minimum, multiple disks are better since they
can be checked in parallel.
-l Limit the number of parallel checks to the number specified in
the following argument. By default, the limit is the number of
disks, running one process per disk. If a smaller limit is giv-
en, the disks are checked round-robin, one filesystem at a time.
