This is a feature, not an error. Every so often (based on "maximal mount
count"), a fsck of a filesystem is forced. A 4 gig drive will take a long
time to fsck. You set "maximal mount count" with "tune2fs".
That much fragmentation is unusual, though. How full is the drive (as
reported by "df")? I'd guess up around 90%. You can defragment it with a
program called (I think) "defrag".
