This is good and I don't want to change this behavior. But occasionally the system checks several file systems during boot and it can take really long time. This morning it took several (10-20) minutes. Sometimes I don't have time to wait until fsck finishes, I need the computer immediatley. How can I stop (cancel) fsck during boot in succh case? What I mean exactly is when I see that the system boot is delayed because of running fsck I want to stop fsck, not beforehand.
When fsck happens on many partitions during boot chances are that fsck is for real, not a periodic event. It typically happens when power off was abrupt, not orderly. Fsck is mandatory, and if it takes 20 minutes there are real problems found. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
