I don't think it's a good idea to disable that behaviour.
Hmmm. xfs will not do that, the normal behaviour is not check the file system on every nth reboot. I normally have turned that off with ext3, too - if the system goes down unexpectedly, then I normally do one.
BTW: ext3 handles "Out of power" corruptions better than xfs does.

While the fsck.xfs essentially is nothing more than a /bin/true, do note that if you EVER need to run xfs_check or xfs_repair, you need mre than a fair amount of RAM to properly check the volume. See the following URL for the gory details: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2005-08/msg00391.html
