  | I've now done the tweaks to fsck_ffs; I added -z which tells it that

Is that really going to help?   You're either going to have to use the
option every time (in which case, why is it optional?) or it will be too
late, the standard fsck after reboot will already have cleaned up all this
junk.

If you leave it enabled all the time, I suspect you'll get inundated
with all the junk files that you really didn't want to reappear being
relinked after every unclean shutdown.

Much better would be to simply fix the broken application that is leaving
some kind of important data in unlinked files.  That's insane (next someone
will be asking for a way to recover files from an MFS /tmp if the system
crashes when something they considered important was sitting there...)
