checkfs checks a filesystem type against the FSCKTYPES variable before checking it, and additionally handles the value FSCKTYPES=none to avoid checking any filesystem. checkroot should do the same. This makes it easy to disable fsck, either completely or for certain types of filesystems. - Josh Triplett
Thanks. I am not convinced of the need for excluding groups of rootfs types. I presume this is why FSCKTYPES support isn't in checkroot.sh. Severity is wishlist. Mark
