It’s not a terrible idea though and runs pretty quickly, so I’ll usually reboot and let it run the check during off hours. You’ll mostly get the warning because there was a power outage, not because there’s any explicit disk error being detected. You will get that if you shutdown the device by pulling the power (instead of using the shutdown/reboot command in the WebUI or console). The disk check warning is kind of a red herring. Most of those sites are HA though, so we’ve been able to RMA a device in a few days without disruption.
