The problem is that the volume isn't necessarily damaged when the
system crashes. If it isn't, then running vrepair would waste *more*
time than just tryiong to mount the volume, wouldn't it?

Yep.

Volume in drive O is MAIN
 8,971,091,968 bytes total disk space
 6,376,128,512 bytes used
 2,594,963,456 bytes free

That enough free space? :-)
