As an aside: I have four 1 TB drives in this system, and I dread

Hmm, yeah, yuck...  I wonder if manually running a fsck resets the
counter used for the auto check?  If so, perhaps you want to schedule a
reboot and fsck for some early morning weekly event.

              Adjust  the  number of mounts after which the filesystem will be
              checked by e2fsck(8).  If max-mount-counts is 0 or -1, the  num-
              ber  of  times  the filesystem is mounted will be disregarded by
              e2fsck(8) and the kernel.
