Why does the gbde section of the Handbook recommend running fsck -p -t ffs, which calls fsck_ffs, when ordinary filesystems are checked with fsck_ufs. According to <http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/jeroen/faq.html#UFS-DIFF-FFS>, ffs runs on top of ufs "providing directory structure information, and a variety of disk access optimizations". Am I correct in thinking that soft-updates protect ffs from inconsistency, so that only a background ufs check is required? Is it possible to background check gbde partitions? If so, can it be done after booting is complete?
