How to disable routine check of drives?

[Julita]

There is no necessity for me to do it, and is there a way to disable it? I would appreciate if someone could help me...

[racorbin2007]

from a command line:
sudo tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sda1
will disable the drive check for /dev/sda1; replace sda1 with each drive you have.

I would not disable this function. But instead say set it at 60 or so boots.

I agree with philinux. The check is there for a reason, not to annoy you. If you disable it then you put your files and data at risk.

Thank you very much! I know that it might actually be useful; I don't care about the data loss on my computer, that's all

Is it possible to make it check disks after boot has completed (e.g, after user sees login prompt)?

I don't think it is, as the disk checker needs access to the entire filesystem, so it has to run before everything is mounted.

In Jaunty, the time for the check is minimal and beats trying to remember to run scandisk in Windows.
