My answer is valid for 3.4 (I don't run vinum on 4.0 yet, but I'm sure
it's pretty much the same). From man fstab(5) (on a 3.4 system, FWIW):
[snip] ... If
the sixth field is not present or is zero, a value of zero is returned
and fsck(8) will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
In your fstab, for this filesystem, the last (sixth) field is zero. This
means that fsck will _not_ check this filesystem at all during an
automatic boot. This means that if it needs an fsck, mount will find that
out, and will stop the boot process, demanding you to fsck in single user
mode. I have a 3.4 machine with two vinum filesystems that get fsck'd just
fine (with the correct entry in fstab, of course).
