Go ZFS ?
We ditched fsck over a decade ago.

There used to be an Atos admin on this list who had a pretty impressive
Cyrus user base on NFS / NetApp and who was rather pleased with that.

Of course you would not put your mailboxes.db and other I/O critical
structures on NFS but why not the Cyrus metadata ?
