Hi all,

I know I have posted a message about this on the list before but I have
yet to figure it out. I am getting this warning during boot up:
EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended

I seens that the file system is being mounted in ordered data mode before
e2fsck is able to run. Everything is currently up to date. Here is a
snipit of my dmesg:

EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 104k freed
Adding Swap: 489972k swap-space (priority -1)
EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended
EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.19, 19 August 2002 on ide0(3,3), internal journal
NTFS: Warning! NTFS volume version is Win2k+: Mounting read-only

I have set the last bit in fstab to 1 as suggested but it has no effect?
Here is my fstab file if it will help.

Any help would be great.

Thanks, Ralph
