Hi Gerald
Hitting max mount count doesn't indicate a problem. The boot mechanism
keeps track of the number of mounts for the file systems. fsck is run at
this point to detect and repair problems to keep them from getting
worse.
I counted the boots between max count fscks on my 1.3.1 system. I got
about 40.
