I upgraded to a more current snapshot the other day and after fsck

I have 2 usb hard drives in my /etc/fstab. I don't have these drives
with me all the time, and had them unplugged during my upgrade (so i
didn't inadvertently install to one of them).
I tried to upgrade a couple times, but i have to comment out my usb
drives before i can successfully run the upgrade. The upgrade asked
me whether or not I wanted to fsck the other partitions, so i figure
it should at least obey my answer.

The installer only asks if you want to do a *forced* fsck ora
non-forced. The fsck is always done for all devices in fstab. The only
differences is whether -y is used or not.

That makes sense now, thanks. The wording just leaves some room for
interpretation. I really thought it was a choice to fsck or not, instead
of a choice to run fsck with the -y option or not.
Peter,
I looked into 'noauto' but i prefer to have my drives auto-mounted the
95% of the time i'm using my computer vs the few times i do an upgrade.
I'll just comment them out.. easy enough.
