How to Stop File System Check on Every Boot in Ubuntu

While determining the default OS to boot, I have edited too much files. May be I did a wrong thing. Now I realised that on every boot, Ubuntu splash screen says there is a file system check. This bothered me. After a little research, found a solution. 

You need to edit fstab file in /etc/fstab. Open the file using this command: 
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Pay attention the uncommented lines. At the end of each line there is a parameter "0" or "1" or "2".

0: force the system not to do  a file system check
1: force the system to do a file system check at every boot
2: force the system to do a just one file system check at the next first boot

I've change the parameters to "0" and reboot. 

Voila! There is no "file system check" warning at boot.
