I can remote /run/initramfs/fsck-root  and reboot - the file is
re-generated. How do I disable this file ?

This is hte contents of the log:
more /run/initramfs/fsck.log

However I dont see it doing it on the screen - and /var/log/syslog says it
was actually SKIPPED
  kernel: systemd[1]: systemd-fsck-root.service - File System Check on Root
Device was skipped because of an unmet condition check
(ConditionPathExists=!/run/initramfs/fsck-root
