Heh.  You need to run a test to find out that bg fsck
causes problems ?  Here - I'll save you some time:

if involves_snapshots_in_any_way
then
  it's totally FUBAR
fi

Snapshots have _never_ been stable or suitable for
production.  Ever.  (going on 2+ years now...)

This wouldn't be such a problem, except that BG fsck,
turned on by default, ensures that all users of
FreeBSD, everywhere, are using snapshots, whether they
understand what a bad idea that is or not.

On the plus side, FreeBSD does have a nice new mascot
- see it's more shiny now.  See ?
