So then... a normal HDD, with critical partitions mounted "sync"?

I've actually seen quite a few appliances that are really custom-built
PCs running Linux and using normal HDDs. I just wonder what they're
doing to assure it won't get stuck in fsck, or worse, if the power
fails.

Speaking of which, what's the "official" Fedora way :-) to tell fsck to
just go ahead fix the disk and don't ask anything?
