I got an error on booting up my laptop this morning (Red Hat 5.2,
kernel 2.0.36) - fsck reported `maximum mount number exceeded - check forced'
(or something similar - those may have not been the exact words) for two of my
partitions.  This is the first time I've seen this message.  The system had
been shut down cleanly before (/sbin/shutdown -h now).  Should I be worried?

On the subject of fsck, what does the `N% non-contiguous' message mean?  Does
it merely refer to fragmentation, or is it actually an error message?
