# fsck off: two ways

1. filesystem fsck frequency:

       tune2fs -c 50 /dev/sda5   <— count
       tune2fs -i 1m /dev/sda5   <— time (months)

2. /etc/fstab:

       /dev/sda5  /home  ext3  relatime  0  0

   (okay, that's really 3 ways)

The last field in fstab describes when to fsck. Typically the root is 1 and everything else that gets checked is 2.

But if you don't want to check, use 0.
