I think you're confused. 23 means a check each 23 mounts. With 2 |
14 |
mounts per day, that's a check every 12 days for the first and second disk. |

Also, except mount count, there's also a time-based check. The check |
17 |
happens whichever of the two expires first (otherwise, a system that |
18 |
gets rebooted once each two months or such would get checked in a timely |
19 |
manner.) |
