Note that the file system isn't the only place that might assume that
time is correct.  For example, the UUID generation algorithm derives
its uniqueness guarantees from the fact that time is correctly set.
If you don't have an accurate clock, you may have all sorts of strange
behavior as a result.

As far as the FreeRunner is concerned, it currently takes me under 8
seconds to check a 70gig SSD drive.  If you put 8GB SD card into the
FreeRunner smartphone, the first check after a failed battery should
take at most a second.  Hardly worth people going into hysterics and
calling this a "grave" bug.

If you really want to disable the future check, you can do this:

[problems]
        0x000031 = {
                 preen_ok = true
        }
        0x000032 = {
                 preen_ok = true
        }

I consider this a botch to work around broken hardware, though...
