That chkbfs is missing is pretty unfortunate, as it's something BFS 
inherently needs to at least free blocks that weren't freed before a 
crash. The original BeOS chkbfs didn't do anything else, anyway.
I guess it will still take some time until the feature will be usable 
again in Haiku.

That may or may not work, depending on how corrupted your disk is.

Agreed.
