As it is said above, the background checks is a very good feature, but I think it needs some modifications:

--An option to notify users about the locking/checking of the hard drives

--An option to postpone these checks .For example all my developing programs, documents and work are on a secondary 1TB disk-partition and most of the times I need them quickly. the check can last for over an hour.

--what happens when the root/Desktop partition is being checked? There must be an option to postpone the check for a later time as well. There was an incident with the previous release (9.04) that I had to run a demo to some people an I did not remember how to stop the root filesystem check.

--You could have an applet, or a notification with a button that prompts users to schedule the postponed checks for the next restart.

Despite these inconveniences, you should have our congratulations again for this release!
