We quickly discussed this at the last UDS. Most people were not in favor of dropping the check completely, since occasionally, things just go wrong, and you never notice until you actually run a check. We proposed some changes in [1] to alleviate this: * Make the boot-time check interruptible if the file system was clean, and print out a message when a check happens (otherwise the user does not know at all what's going on). * Offer some 'check now'/'check at next boot' (depending on whether the partition is currently mounted) buttons in the drive properties in the UI.
