Force fsck on boot was either added or removed in CSSU, don't remember which. Anyway, it is functionally the same (as it runs the same binary) as running fsck from BackupMenu. The fsck we have on our N900s is ancient and, in my experience at least, tends to break more things in an attempt to fix them, which is why I wouldn't recommend it. YMMV.
Vanilla fsck *definitely* screw things up in cause of any serious filesystem issues, as it segfaults during e2fsck 2nd pass, just after vivisecting filesystem into basic components. So, anything requiring at least 2 passes doesn't work (usually, only thing that work is [from] journal recovery).
Anyway, in CSSU-devel, there are updated e2fsck tools, that are working OK: Having those installed helps greatly, as it allow to run fsck from backupmenu and repair things, without nuking your filesystem. Using it happily here.

By the way, I heard that a power users kernel might make some drivers unstable (like the camera one, etc.). What do you think?
I'd like to get USB host capabilities and many more things.

I will try the BackupMenu in mass storage mode.
