Comment 6 for bug 68589

This is still present in 8.04 and there seems no good way to fix this now in ubuntu - you don't like the ignore approach, but you don't provide any other means to fix it properly. Disabling fsck completely is bad, giving user power to mount file systems is not bad, but it requires additional actions after startup. And finally if user knows little about GNU/Linux he probably doesn't want to see an error message on boot with some cryptic commands if he just unplugged his external drive.

How about ignoring the errors, but adding some upstart configuration file to mark required file systems if someone really needs it?
