RE: [expert] maximal mount count?

It's a routine check.  All your Linux partitions will get this check
after they've been mounted x number of times.  It checks for
fragmentation and other disk ailments and attempts to correct the
situation.

Subject: [expert] maximal mount count?



I just booted my machine and got the message: "/dev/hdb1 has reached
maximal mount count, check forced" after which linux proceeded to run a
check that lasted several minutes.
Does this indicate a problem? Or is it just a routine check? If so,
what's
it checking for?
