If you don't have the resources to live with a file system check, fsck on
boot, then you can edit the 6th field in your /etc/fstab file for partitions
you want to exclude from checking, i.e.
instead of
UUID=69... /var ext3 defaults 0 1
use
UUID=69... /var ext3 defaults 0 0
but note that even if you use a command like:
]#sudo shutdown -rF now
this won't force a disk check, for this partition, on reboot. This is true
for my Debian 5.0 dev. box.
