[Bug 568594] Re: fstab(5) should document that root filesystem is always checked with "force fsck"

There are even more "oddities" with fsck in Lucid:

By default during installation additional filesystems selected for auto-
mount will receive a "1" in column 6 of fstab, even if they are vfat
(i.e. Win partitions). This results in enormous boot delays of Lucid,
because those FAT-filesystems will be checked on every boot.

Correctly filesystems not native in Linux should be checked with the system they belong to - Win in this case.
This means, they either should be set to "0" in fstab column 6, or fsck options  during boot should be modified.
