XFS is intelligent in the fact that it knows when it needs to replay the 
journal due to an unclean shutdown, there's no need for intervention. 
You may want to use tune2fs -c 0 /dev/xxx to set the MAX_MOUNT_COUNTS to 
zero for your partitions. This won't stop a startup script from calling 
fsck on boot, but will prevent it as a scheduled process after X amount 
of reboots.
