System: NetBSD danbala 1.4.2 NetBSD 1.4.2 (DANBALA) #0: Wed Jan 1 04:30:28 MET 1997 root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/DANBALA i386


>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
