Default not fsck wheb /something is not properly dismounted?

Hi,

I have a netbook which has from time to time "issues", which makes me have to hard power it down. The video card driver is experimental (xf86-video-intel29) still doesn't have GEM support that I know, and the computer completely locks up if ever i have hw.acpi.lid_switch_state set to anything but NONE. More recently the screen will go blank and not come back without a reboot.

ACER Aspire One (ironically the web cam works with pwc view hehe)

What i'm asking is, if there is any way to turn off the auto background fsck'ing that's done if ever the computer booted up but i had to hard power it down. I would like to be able to manually fsck it, at my convenience. Sometimes I have to quickly get something off it and i don't have time to wait for it to fsck.
