Root partition: clean xy/xyz files, zy/ys blocks at every boot

Hello together,

My arch linux laptop boots fine, but there is at every boot a message about:
"Root partition: clean xy/xyz files, zy/ys blocks at every boot".

Whats the reason for this message?
I think its the fsck but why runs this at every single boot?

I installed my arch linux system based on the german tutorial: "Anleitung für Einsteiger" (https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger)

Thank you!

If you have a basic system with mkinitcpio as the initramfs creator, it runs fsck on / and /usr if separate on every boot, just to be safe.

Other than that, yes it’s normal.
Do you want quiet boot or you only had curiosity?
You could disable fsck but there’s no benefit really...
Well except for a little bootup speed boost, a little...
