e2fsprogs: turn off enforced fsck intervals by default
The forced fsck often comes at unexpected and inopportune moments,
and even enterprise customers are often caught by surprise when
this happens. Because a filesystem with an error condition will
be marked as requiring fsck anyway, I submit that the time-based
and mount-based checks are not particularly useful, and that
administrators can schedule fscks on their own time, or tune2fs
the enforced intervals if they so choose. This patch disables the
intervals by default, and I've added a new mkfs.conf option to
turn on the old behavior of random, unexpected, time-consuming
fscks at boot time. ;)
