please go back and edit/reformat your posts
highlight the output and then format it with the </> button

If you don’t format it, the # marks at the start of each line are interpreted as “print it big and bold”.

Can you describe which screen / process this happens during?

Do you see the Manjaro logo (or your PC’s vendor logo) while it tells you it’s checking the file-system?

How long does it take? Can you actually see a percentage “progress” that eventually reaches 100%?

There is a way to disable it, either in the fstab or with mkinitcpio, but I think it’s better to figure out why it checks your file-system at every boot.

While in Manjaro, can you type:

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sdxx | grep -i “last checked”

Replace sdxx with root partition.

This will tell you when the file-system was last checked.

This will hide yr file system check msg…just send it to another tty.

[frozen@frozen ~]$ sudo tune2fs -l / | grep -i “last checked”
grep: checked”: No such file or directory
[sudo] password for frozen: 
tune2fs: Is a directory while trying to open /
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Replace my sdxx with your actual root device/partition. Might be sda1, sda2, or etc.

You can see a list of partitions with:

lsblk

or

cat /proc/partitions

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

At the end of ‘grub cmdline linux default’ add ‘console=tty3’

Save and exit nano or ur text editor

sudo update-grub

How to save?

You typed it wrong. It’s missing a “pipe” before grep

Should be like this:

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 | grep -i “Last checked”

31

Ctrl+o then press enter then press ctrl+x

Okay, so let’s just see how everything is configured for sda2, and you can change the “fsck” intervals to something less frequent. This might also help your boot-up times.

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2

Forget the pipe or grep. Just make sure the text doesn’t get pasted in large font. :wink:

That’s a lowercase L in the command (as in “list”), not an upper-case i, by the way. On the forums, I and l look alike.
