I was wondering if there's any way to manually skip the disk check that occurs every so many boots. In Ubuntu I could just press Esc to skip the disk check and then it would run the check on the next boot instead. One of the reasons I like Arch is that it boots very quickly, but it's irritating having to wait a few minutes for the disk check during an inconvenient time. Is there a way to skip a disk check? Thanks for any help.

its almost like a car, u have to tune it using...
tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sdaXYZ
that disables the anoying checks, and they always happen when ur in a rush to boot.

Alternatively you can force disk checks test at times more convenient:
shutdown -Fr now
(as root of course) will reboot the machine and force a complete filesystem check immediately. The check intervals will start at zero afterwards.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.
