That misses the point. I have rebooted sometimes just for a quick
change, possibly to try a different kernel, and intending to reboot
several times. Then whoops! it starts a long fsck scan, not to repair
damage, but just because some counter went to zero. What a waste.
It's like insisting on an oil change exactly every 3000 miles. No,
sorry, I will wait until it is convenient for *me*, not the odometer.
So his question is, once the fsck has started, can he ^C to bomb it
off, or do anything else to skip what has started?
