No where near the mark cyclone. It has to do with how many times the
drive has been mounted. Linux sets a certain number and then
periodically checks and defragments the drive when that number comes up.

Subject: Re: [expert] maximal mount count?
It sounds like you may have too many mount points... I haven't really
heard of
this specific error before, but the Mandrake online user manual suggests
that
you only make three partitions: /, /home, and a swap space not bigger
than 128
megs. Do you have a huge SCSI chain or something?
