Jon,
When you create a Partition you set a Maximal Mount Count. This value is
used as a nag to tell you to scan your partition after so many
mount/umount's.
I didn't specifically set this when I formatted the partition, but I saw in the output of mkfs.ext3 the maximal mount count -- I believe that I remember seeing that it was 64 mounts of 180 days. However...
Once you run fsck on the partition it resets the counter to zero.
You'll get the message again after you've mounted/unmounted your volume a certain number of times (The Maximal Mount Count).
This is the part that's broken. I've only mounted the partition once! Well, now about five times... I keep unmounting it and running fcsk. The problem is that fsck isn't resetting the counter...
Is there a way I can force this counter to go to zero?
Note: I don't PGP sign my email, and nobody seems to want to forge my address <sigh>. Oh well.
Don't ask me how or why, but apparently a lot of spam gets sent from my email address(es). Mostly from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I constantly get bounces of spam send from my address to nonexistent addresses... and I've actually had people a) Tell me to remove them from lists I didn't put them on, and b) Try to complain to my ISP (which is me, because I run my own email server) about the spam that I was supposedly sending them. It was very difficult to explain to them that somebody (not me) was forging the "From" address as my address, and that the mail didn't really come from me.
I decided that PGP signing, while not preventing the spammers from forging my address, at least proves that I sent the mail that I did.
