Another solution I've seen recently is to remove the check-on-boot
entirely. This in itself is a bad thing, because you then don't get to
find random bit-flip data corruptions (which is what the regular
fsck-on-boot is for). To get the same effect with no impact on boot
times, keep your filesystems in LVM, take a snapshot of each
filesystem at regular intervals, and then run fsck on the snapshot.
(This advice came from Ted Ts'o, who knows a thing or two about
filesystems... :) )
