Automatic fsck

[Paul S]

I've been bitten bad by e2fsck where it's borked my system such that 
I've had to reinstall.  Since I don't want to be forced into that again, 
I'm trying to disable it permanently and take my chances on losing a 
file here or there.

However, I can't seem to shut it off.

So far, I've used tune2fs -c0 -i 0 to shut it off (interval and count 
are disabled .. see confirmation below).  That didn't work.  Next I 
used dpkg-divert to move e2fsck out of my path and rebuild the initramfs 
with update-initramfs, but it still runs on boot (I can't figure out how 
it got a copy of e2fsck).   I have to use Esc to abort it.  What's the 
trick to disable it on hardy??
