Nothing but that wasn't the original question.

Quote:
"Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems
on different drives will be  checked  at  the  same time  to  utilize
parallelism  available  in the hardware."

Meaning that (using Gene's config with hda and hdd), if you happen to have
hdaX and hddY and that fsck starts to check them at the same time (or hdaX
first), you won't see progress for hddY.
