Yep, the check at boot that gets executed after the specified maximum |
| 8 |
mount count has been reached definitely resets the mount count to 0 |
| 9 |
again, I've probably witnessed that millions of times myself in my |
| 10 |
life. ;-) |

Observation(tm): From the e2fsck man page: "e2fsck -p: Automatically |
| 13 |
repair ("preen") the file system. This option will cause e2fsck to |
| 14 |
automatically fix any filesystem problems that can be safely fixed |
| 15 |
without human intervention. [...] This option is normally run by the |
| 16 |
system's boot scripts". |

The "-p" option to e2fsck acutually resets the mount count back to 0, |
| 19 |
even when executed manually (and not as part of a script at boot time). |
