I do, but during testing (where I've hit the reset button and pulled out
the power leads), I've seen warnings about not being shutdown properly
and fsck should be done on the drive.  I don't know how much I can
ignore such warnings, and just carry on hoping for the best.

It'd be better if there was no need to "recover", that the drive was
only being written to if you were actually saving data to it.
