1 Probably, but why would you want to? it fixes any errors, and makes the file

3 get lost.
4 If you skip it, you risk data corruption on disk.

6 If you know it's going to run, then you can do one of two things:
7 1) I believe there is an option to ignore it entirely
8 2) If you use Interactive mode then you can skip that step.
9
10 Both of those, however, require that you know (or assume) its going to run fsck.
