>Description:
At least on upgrade, sysinst runs `fsck -f' on all file systems mentioned in
the installed system's /etc/fstab. With the size of hard disks nowadays,
this is very inconvenient. While I understand why fscking them before
use is desirable, I don't understand why you force-check them if they
are already clean.
>How-To-Repeat:
upgrade a system
>Fix:
don't use -f option to fsck
