..has reached maximal mount count check forced

[Nick Wilson]

Hi
I've had that message a couple of times on start up.
I'm not 100% but I think this is a problem to do with my cdrom being mounted when I shutdown. If it is please tell me how to unmount my cdrom when I get the 'device is busy' msg. If not please tell me what I might be doing wrong.

Many thanks

I don't think it's your cdrom.

e2fsck runs when all the "superblocks" on your HDD have been mounted once already.
...or sumtin' like that.

I once got a link to a great "Second Extended HOW-TO" or "ext2fs HOW-TO" that explained all in very good detail with graphics, but I lost the bookmark before I could read it (= before I got my lazy *** to read it :( )

I hope someone posts that link again...or try a *GASP* forum *GACK* search *COUGH*

I think there's a way to fsck beforehand but I can't remember how.

Hope this helps.

you get that every X times your hard drive is mounted at boot up.

no big deal.
