[S.u.S.E. Linux] Boot Message re "Maximal Mount Count"
Every 10 days or so of daily bootups, the fsck returns the following message for _each_ partition: '/dev/hdxx has reached maximal mount count, check forced' '/dev/hdxx nnnn/mmmm files (yon-contiguous), jjjjj/lllll blocks' The meaning of the second message line seems clear, but what about this "maximal mount count?" I looked at man fsck, etc, but if it's there I missed it.

man tune2fs [...] -c max-mount-counts adjust the maximal mounts count between two filesystem checks.

Here you find it described: TUNE2FS(8) TUNE2FS(8) NAME tune2fs - adjust tunable filesystem parameters on second extended filesystems SYNOPSIS tune2fs [ -l ] [ -c max-mount-counts ] [ -e errors-behav- ior ] [ -i interval-between-checks ] [ -m reserved-blocks- percentage ] [ -r reserved-blocks-count ] [ -s sparse- super-flag ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ] [ -C mount-count ] [ -L volume-name ] [ -M last-mounted-directory ] [ -U UUID ] device DESCRIPTION tune2fs adjusts tunable filesystem parameters on a Linux second extended filesystem. Never use tune2fs on a read/write mounted filesystem to change parameters! OPTIONS -c max-mount-counts adjust the maximal mounts count between two filesystem checks. And e2fsck obeys to that thing. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
