I think that the fs does the incrementing of the count. But when the limit is
reached, how is the execution of fsck started? What software does that? From
what running daemon is the job spawned? I have several HD for which limit is
set at under 30 but the actual count is over 50. How does that happen?
I didn't do anything to force this situation. I just plugged and played.
I'm suggesting that maybe there is a flaw in the design. Maybe something
was left out of consideration --- maybe.
OTOH, maybe I'm just unaware of some fact that is well known to the experts.
