I thought that fsck just called some other fsck.<fs> to make it work.
Each file system provides it's own version of fsck that knows what to do
to repair the file system.

So, fsck on a xfs partition actually runs fsck.xfs.  Since fsck makes
not much sense on an xfs partition, the program does nothing.

Why do you want to disable fsck?
