Yes.  We fsck a 5-10M filesystem on boot.  We then fsck -y it if it
didn't work.  We have though about newfs if that didn't work :-), but
haven't done it yet.

We get very fast boot times as well.

If you are running an embedded system, combining / and /usr and
building things NOSHARED=no will give you a space savings of several
megabytes because then all of /bin and /sbin are linked dynamically.
We've deployed about 100 systems like this and haven't had any
problems with it.
