I have openSUSE 11.2 with several partitions. At every Nth mount fsck checks a given partition, which takes a long time. Sometimes I do need the computer quickly and don't want to wait until fsck finishes. Is there an option that makes possible to interrupt or cancel file system checking during boot so that the checking would be completed at the next boot? I don't want to disable it or change the max count, I just want occasionally bypass checking at boot. I tried to interrupt fsck by pressing ctrl+c but it resulted in a not normal boot, many partitions were not mounted.
Append "fastboot" as boot parameter when the grub menu shows up.
I take the question to mean interruption of the fsck process, not knowing in advance that this would be the time of an auto fsck that would delay a required otherwise normal speed boot, and only realizing during boot fastboot would have avoided the delay. Hindsight is 20/20. Appending fastboot wouldn't be applicable for such a situation. I set all my partitions to either 12m or 0 time count, and 0 mount count, with tune2fs, and either let the init mount process decide if and when a filesystem needs to be repaired before mounting, or delay automatic fsck at least a year. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
