No that is perfectly normal, no worries at all, its a periodical check.
You can alter the behaviuor by means of 'tune2fs' but NOT on a mounted

I'm not all to sure on this, but i belive it is a sum of blocks which are
scattered around the system, i realy never have bothered to find out just
what it means, i would be all ears to hear about it tho' from anyone else.
