Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: d430ae0fd43e01f67aa1d4532aaed88f Hi, I use one drive just for backup, co I mount/unmount it only when I need it (quite frequently). Since some time I started getting these messages in /var/log/kernel.log: kernel: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds kernel: EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended kernel: EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. So I unmounted /dev/sda1 and checked partition as recommended: e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 All tests passed, no errors reported, output seems normal. But when I mount it, I get the above mentioned message again. Apparently, mount-counter has not been reset. So how can I reset it? I think, that message indicate that fsck will check that partition while doing next backup. I would like to avoid it, as it is rather large partition (2TB) with a lot of files, and fsck takes quite long time...
