EXT2-fs warning - 20/10/2000 09:20

I just tried to rwm my DRIVE0 partition and I recieved:

EXT2-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended

Any thoughts?

No worries.

After a certain amount of mounts/dismounts (and/or time IIRC)
the OS recommends that a fsck is done even if the file system was
cleanly unmounted last time around.

It's as if Windows would do a scandisk, even though it shut down
cleanly, every 40th time or so it rebooted.
