Not once it has started, but there are some ways to avoid it running in the first place: Add "fastboot" to your kernel commandline to make it bypass the auto-fsck. A grub entry for "skip fsck" might be handy. Edit /etc/fstab to prevent the auto-fsck from ever running by changing the last field to 0. If it's an ext[123] you can use tune2fs -i 0 to set the auto-check interval to never.
