[gentoo-user] A little light relief from endless problems

[Peter Humphrey]

As it's Sunday, here's an odd little thing.

Not long ago, while booting this machine, four ext3 partitions needed checks 
on remount count reaching zero. They had been set to 23, 24, 25 and 26 
mounts. (I didn't choose the numbers; they were allocated at the time I was 
creating the file system.)

Now, this box does get rebooted, but hardly 23 x 24 x 25 x 26 = 358,800 
times all told. At, say, two reboots per day, that would take rather a long 
time: a little under 500 years if my arithmetic is working.
