regular fsck runs are too disturbing

If the default behaviour of fsck can't/won't be changed (and even if
it is), I'd like to see this sort of thing implemented.  It would be
good to give the user an option of cancelling the check ("press any
key to cancel" sort of thing), and then either prompt again at next
bootup, or give the user a way of further delaying the check (tune2fs
?).
