Yes, the EXT2 and EXT3 file systems (and probably all file systems) do this. If you're using EXT3, you can do a: tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/dasd?? to turn that off. There are two switches you need to specify because there are two counts that are kept: 1. Number of days since the last file system check 2. Number of file system mounts since the last file system check I would _not_ recommend doing this on an EXT2 file system, unless you always have it mounted read-only.
