This is the system's way of singing "Every breath you take"! There is nothing wrong out here. Every time a partition is mounted (ext2) ... like every reboot, a count is maintained, so that at peridic intervals the integrity of the file sys- tem is checked before mounting. This is something like the M$ scandisk or NDD which comes at every boot ... the difference here is that after a critical count for a partition is reached ... not every boot. This only signifies that the health of your system is honky- dory ... and that you should not bother. Leave things as they are ... consider it as ext2 scandisk !
