Depends on the use case, but the better answer is to probably use a
better journaling fs where the fsck wouldn't be necessary.
Particularly on large volumes, an fsck on boot could easily stall you
for hours.  Especially since ZFS, it's probably best just to run that
if you're holding data that matters to you.
