I'm now beginning to understand why SuSE wanted fsck -M/-m (ignore
mounted filesystems).  Looks like SuSE has a very strange and
non-standard usage scenario with fsck -A which is *not* just at
boot-time.

So before we try to figure out whether Yet Another FSCK option makes
sense, maybe it would be good to get an explanation exactly *how* SuSE
is using fsck -A, besides just at boot-time?
