Eliminate Slow Boots Because of Disk Checking
If you have been using Ubuntu for a while, you probably know that after 30 boots Ubuntu runs a check on the hard disk. This “Fsck” check slows down booting a lot.

The disk check runs has always been fairly quick on my two desktops, so it does not bother me.

What if there is a power outage?
I get a lot of power outages in my building. This isn't really a good idea. After a power outage, I want to run a fsck at boot before my programs run and not at shutdown.
