Mmmm, I do get the same thing each time the maximal mount count is reached -
does anyone know how I could fix this? Is there something like tune2fs or
similar which could stop/check this recurring problem? To fix the errors
reported, I usually use something like (from memory)?:
e2fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/hda3
this works until max mount count is reached the next time. Perhaps it is
insufficient?
k.
p.s. I use 'shutdown -h now' to shutdown the machine - could this cause a
problem if I do it from a desktop like KDE as opposed to logging out? (this
is rare, though, as I don't like KDE!).
