[Bug 1875548] Re: Its not easy to determine how to skip the filesystem check

[C.S.Cameron]

Oops, casper - 1.334 was for 18.04.
With 20.02 I get: "casper is already the newest version (1.445)".
Hopefully 1.447 will be working with 20.04 soon, this is the version the bug is written about.

Title:
  Its not easy to determine how to skip the filesystem check

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I see that Live Ubuntu 20.04 is plagued by disk checking on boot.

  Not just with Live USB but with Persistent USB also.

  If not fast enough to cancel with ctl-c it starts on
  filesystem.squashfs and runs until over 90% complete.

  Very irritating. There have been quite a few complaints on Ask Ubuntu
  already.

  If it was just a run once it would not be so bad.

  Is there some way to get rid of this or is it a bug we have to live
  with?

  Perusing Ask Ubuntu everyday for many years I have never seen anybody
  ask for such a feature.

  A run once filesystem check might have its uses on a Live installer
  drive but is not needed on a Persistent utility drive.

  The only alternative I see is to use a Full install USB drive were
  automatic disk checking is not run.
