fsck each reboot?

[Ken Moffat]

I have a laptop running Kanotix linux (debian sid) and on each reboot
the vfat partitions on the drive are fsck'd (dosfsck), causing an
annoying delay. The relevant fstab lines (auto-generated during install)
end with 2. What are the ramifications of changing that to a 0,
eliminating the check? Also, why is this done each reboot rather than
every 20 or whatever is the norm? Seems to only happen on this laptop,
which is dual boot with xp. My Kanotix desktop set up fstab with zeros
instead of 2's.

Thanks.
