Change the end of the line from 1 1 to 0 0
That will turn off the fsck during boot.
Man fstab tells me that the 6th field controls the fsck during boot, and
the 5th field controls the dump sequence. it also says
"If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned
and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be
checked."
