Running PocketBeagleImage: bone-debian-9.1-iot-armhf-2017-10-01-4gb

Upgraded to kernel 4.9.53-ti-rt-r67

On a 16 GB microSD card, it takes about 90 seconds to boot
On a 32 GB microSD card, it takes about 170 seconds to boot.

Looking at the boot logs, it looks like you are doing an ‘fsck’ on the entire card, every boot.
This gets real tedious on big cards.

I suspect you are trying to head off corruption problems with the new customers jerking the power on the pocketbones.

Is there a way to turn this off? Perhaps add an option in the uEnv.txt ?
Or edit some boot script?

Thanks,

No, it's a feature of stretch.. There's nothing i've enabled. The
big difference between jessie and stretch here. In jessie, fsck on
bootup did not always find the partition so it skipped it..

There are options if you’re running grub. So, perhaps there is a kernel parameter that can be passed ? Not really a lot of info out there, at least for current web search.
