By specifying 'reiserfs' as the filesystem type, which is necessary to mount the reiserfs filesystem(s), you'll avoid this behavior. Compare, e.g.: vfat, minix, iso9660, and other filesystem types, which don't run automatic filesystem checks on mount counts. e2fsck on a non-ext2fs filesystem will exit with errors, no harm done (not sure in case of ext3fs).
