Anyhow, I've gained something from this thread. I didn't know that I could get rid of fsck by the simple expedient of C^c. Yes, I know that it is obvious, and I can't believe that I didn't even try it, but I clearly didn't.
Maybe, like me, it's because you've been told it's a bad thing to do since the days of Slackware installs from floppy disks. I have never tried to interrupt it. But, I use the old Caldera scheme of keeping all personal data on /opt which is on it's own partition. All of my /home major directories (video, desktop, music. documents) are links to /opt/ric. So, an fsck on / isn't as painful as it could be.
If I had tb's of data storage, I would be miffed too by an unexpected fsck at the wrong time. :) Ric
