from tune2fs(8)

       -c max-mount-counts
              adjust  the  maximal  mounts  count   between   two
              filesystem checks.

tune2fs -c 1 /dev/hdx

And additionally

WARNING
       Never  use  tune2fs  to  change parameters of a read/write
       mounted filesystem!  Use this utility at  your  own  risk.
       You're modifying a filesystem!



Hope this works for you,

Mike
