Description philip dahlquist 2001-05-25 01:32:27 UTC
Description of Problem:
maximal mount count, check forced.  during bootup, in the checking section
[ok], the filecount max is reached, then the whole harddrive is scanned
while a percentage is displayed.  this happens approx. 3 or 4 days after
1st installation, and then every 3 or 4 boot up day, until an X windows log
file can't be opened for writing, and X Windows won't start, and then, the
next boot inevitably won't work, i'd have to re-install.

How Reproducible:

What are the error messages from X?

A fsck is forced every 20-25 mounts or so; this is normal.

Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2001-06-15 19:16:10 UTC
Try increasing the maximal mount count using "tune2fs -c VALUE /dev/YOURDEVICE".
I bet you'll see that the problem with X is not related to the fsck.
