Actually, you didn't fully answer his question.  You told him how to turn 
it off, but you didn't mention what the consequences were.

Why is this the default in the first place?  Is it just a hold-over from 
the days when ext2 really sucked?  Windows, Mac OS and the BSDs don't do 
file system checks unless the file system is marked unclean.

Maybe it was a crutch supporting the original ext2 philosophy of
speed-over-sanity.
