I don't think this should be left to configuration. As you say skipping fsck can be very bad and dangerous, so it just should not be done: neither by default, nor offered as a configuration option. See #526398, the check skipping fsck on battery was completely commented out for the time being. If that check ever makes it back in some form - a safe form, I'm not sure there is still a point in making it configurable, beyond preventing dangerous behavior. -- Pierre Ynard
