That's a normal occurence. It happens after you reboot a certain number of times. It's just done to make sure nothing is wrong with your filesystem. So don't worry about it if it comes up. During boot up this morning I saw a new message that said; /dev/hda5 has reached maximal mount count

Do you believe me if I say that it's because you mounted your HD the maximal number of time before an automatic e2fsck? :-) Don't panic. It's normal. It will do that each time your HD has been mounted a certain number of time. (I don't know how many) If this annoys you, well... Don't turn off
