Thomas, is the 'fastboot' option you mentioned related to the "doing fast boot" message shown at the beginning of boot?
Please check /etc/init.d/boot and /etc/init.d/boot.rootfsck or /etc/init.d/boot.localfs, respectively, if you are interested in the details. These are the names of the files on my 11.4 but 11.2 will probably be identical. ----> /etc/init.d/boot [...] DO_FASTBOOT=no [...] if rc_cmdline fastboot > /dev/null || test -e /fastboot ; then DO_FASTBOOT=yes fi [...] This means, if the kernel command line contains a "fastboot" parameter or if there exists a file /fastboot in the root filesystem, then no regular filesystem check will be performed for this particular system startup as you can see in the other two boot scripts. The file /fastboot will be removed by boot.localfs, i.e. the fsck will only be skipped for the current startup: [...] # # clean up # rm -f /etc/nologin /nologin /fastboot /forcefsck /succes [...] You can check the used kernel command line via "cat /proc/cmdline" once the system is up. As far as I can see, this is exactly the feature you were looking for. Just add "fastboot" to the kernel command line when you need it and regular filesystem checks will be skipped.
