Commonly this can be disabled under NT. Almost always a sudden reboot will cause
no damage to the NTFS or VFAT or DOS file systems. Linux on the other hand *must*
be checked because a sudden reboot *does* cause damage and many things need to be
reset.
Otherwise, yes. If you run chkdsk and fsck side by side, they both take a long
time. :)
To me though, this differentiation in the article is nitpicking. The amount of
downtime in a sudden reboot is negligable unless it is happening constantly. If it
*is* happening often enough to affect your network, you probably need a UPS or
something, and not disabling chkdsk or fsck.
