Today one of my home servers lost power two times in a short
period of time. After that, the system just couldn't get up. 
Background checks couldn't get started. The messages was how 
/ /tmp /var etc...had to much errors. And at the end, always 
got this: "automatic reboot will start in 15sec".

I went to single user mode, and ran FSCK manually. That solved 
the problem. But the server was down for 2 hours.

This is not the first time that I had to do this. Every now 
and then I have seen this on BSD servers without UPS. 

My question is:

Would it happen if I had ZFS as a file system on all partitions
including root? 

The setup was FreeBSD 8.1, with two disks in raid 1 with gmirror.
