I don't want my system to waste time in checking a 'clean' fs.
Why would you want to do that every time you boot? My system only runs
fstab on bootup if the FS _isn't_ clean.
I don't have the original post so can't check on what he said before.
It seemed to me that he did not have anything in the fs_passno field
and that, on bootup, his filsystems were not being checked 'and that
they did have errors in them'. Nothing in the fs_passno field would
cause that.
That is all I could gleam from the mount and fstab man pages.
