Whenever I shut down my Ubuntu 20.04 and reboot, I always get this message at the bottom of my screen:

Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesystem checks in progress 

This process will take too long and press Ctrl+C does not have any effect.

How to bypass it?

Removing Disk Check From 20.04 Boot

The command line option fsck.mode=skip can be used to skip the disk check when booting Ubuntu 20.04.

The line Checking disks: 0% complete may still come up but fsck will not be run, nor will boot time be increased.

Add fsck.mode=skip to the linux line in grub.cfg just before quiet splash

It is recommended to add the command to grub.cfg by editing /etc/default/grub thus: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="fsck.mode=skip quiet splash" and then run sudo update-grub.

I have had this problem with a Live USB but not with an installed system.
