EXT2-fs warning: maximal count reached

EXT2-fs warning: maximal count reached

This message is issued by the kernel when it mounts a file system
that's marked as clean, but whose "number of mounts since check"
counter has reached the predefined value. The solution is to get the
latest version of the ext2fs utilities (e2fsprogs-0.5b.tar.gz at the
time of writing) from the usual sites. ("Where Are the Linux FTP
Archives?")

The maximal number of mounts value can be examined and changed using
the tune2fs program from this package.
