That makes sense now, thanks. The wording just leaves some room for
interpretation. I really thought it was a choice to fsck or not, instead

I looked into 'noauto' but i prefer to have my drives auto-mounted the
95% of the time i'm using my computer vs the few times i do an upgrade.
I'll just comment them out.. easy enough.
