Scott:
The Issue here is that Ubuntu installer, at least use too, set this field to "1" by default, when it really should be 0 because running running fsck has proven to be dangerous on a vfat file system. Yes it can be changed after Ubuntu in installed, but by that time it can be too late, since in all likely hood the the file-system was already checked and the damage done. The only way to prevent this is to -- after Ubuntu in installed -- manually edit fstab _before_ Ubuntu boots for the first time.
If the Ubuntu installer still sets this to "1" by default can you please keep this bug open, or a least provide a better justification, rather that just stating the obvious and marking the bug as invalid.
