I removed the partition from /dev/fstab. It is a partition on /dev/sda1, a SATA drive, with about 20% fragmentation. I moved everything off the drive, and will reformat, making sure it is in ext3 or other journaling format. Something was triggering a check every boot.

Thank you for the response, Tim:

This makes little sense without knowing what partition you removed and
what you mean by "removing" it - did you take it out of /etc/fstab? Did
you actually repartition your disk? What partition was it, what kind was
it (primary, logical, extended) and what was on it? Hopefully we can be
of more assistance with this info.
