when i was confronted with that problem, i decided to mount the
filesystem read-only. all the parts of the filesystem which need to be
writable at runtime are linked to ramdisk filesystems (like the /tmp,
/var/... and the /dev directories). in a linux how-to or faq i found a
hint by which means you can prevent the fcheck program of checking
your disks. i don't remember at the moment but i will dig through my
notes if you are interested in it ...
