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.
