Just installed Eos and stuck on this.
Wait, that should be ok.

the file check doesn’t stop. i waited a whole day for it to end(It didn’t end, i shutdown).
And I think the file scan is running for the EFI partition. So the only way that i could boot eos was to skip the file scan everyboot. Something is wrong with my pc 
First of it would be nice to start knowing more details such as the hardware and are you installing this as a dual boot with Windows?
How are you able to skip the file scan and does it then boot to the desktop?
If you are able to boot to the desktop and have internet? Post the url
Otherwise you can boot on the live ISO.
inxi -Faz | eos-sendlog
Also post
lsblk -fm

I guess my efi partition has to do with problem
I’m not really understanding the disk layout. You have 4 100M partitions that look like efi partitions? Plus the one marked /boot/efi which i assume is the EndeavourOS install.
Edit: Windows should have one of it’s own. Not sure what the others are for.
Edit2: Can you post an image of
sudo fdisk -l
The first 100mb partition is obviously for windows and the 873 mb partition(/boot/efi) is a partition that i manually created for EFI partitions for linux installs(I have zorin os and and old install of eos alongside). Not sure about the other EFI partitions.
Looks like you have a Bios boot partition also? I’m not sure why fsck won’t run. Do you know exactly what partitions are for the linux installs? By this i mean which one is the current eos install, which one is zorin and which one is the old eos install? Also did you install with grub or systemd-boot?
Edit: Maybe @pebcak could help?

The old eos install is systemd.
The new one is grub.
the current eos install : sda22
the old eos install : sda8
zorin : sda12 ig
Other partitions except the EFI system (fat32) include windows, my files etc…
oops i forgot, zorin is a bios install.
Don’t know why fsck won’t run so I’m not sure what to advise. Someone else maybe can weigh in on this because i don’t want to waste your time if it isn’t going to work. 
Edit: It may have something to do with the fstab entries?
Maybe also post this
cat /etc/fstab
Yes for each fstab of each linux install…
I wonder why you have so many EFI partitions.
For example, I run three distros under Macintosh… But I have one EFI partition. For MacOs boatloder and the other boatloders (grub, systemd-boot, and refind) it works…
I only had to grow this partition for systemd-boot because the initrds and kernels have to be on this partition.
I’m not sure that UEFI spécifications allows many EFI partition on the same disk.
- obviously uefi specs allow it but not necessarly all distros
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=2664-6890 /boot/efi vfat defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=d2c91d5b-19a4-4cf5-92e6-2d37be271630 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
I don’t have any prob running eos now. but , isn’t it bad to skip the fsck scan(temporary fix that i found)?
like maybe won’t i have any problem in future?
Can you explain how you succeed to boot eos now ?
I must have miss something inbetween 
Ok I missview your answer…
I wonder if this efi check of your Efi partition is really necessary…
I wonder if the check of your efi score is really necessary.
At worst, if it is corrupted, you destroy it / remake it.
You can also keep a backup of it, once and for all, just in case. It doesn’t move every day either.
for the efi my fstab looks like that
UUID=C80D-E885 /efi vfat umask=0077 0 1

So, scanning the efi partition is not necessary, right?
or i should destroy the efi partition and create a new fresh one.
ok thank you all for the answers!.
for the time being, i’m not going to change anything.(I guess it is ok).
