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...

Check out tune2fs's man page. I think one of the options there will
help you. Also, you can use dumpe2fs to see the count. That is also
shown with the tune2fs command tho.
One more thing, if you just want it to print certain info, grep would be
your friend. ;-) It spits out a lot here.
I also googled a bit and it does appear that the booting check resets
the counter. At least that was what one poster said. May not be the
case now but thought I would mention it.
Hope that helps.
