In the superblock of your ext2 filesystem is a counter. Every time
you mount the fs the counter is incremented. When it reaches the
maximum mount count (which is also stored in the superblock) you will
get a message like that. A debian should run e2fsck automatically
during the boot process. If you want to run it manually (recommended
right now), then boot a rescue disk (so that you don't try mounting
the fs) and run
e2fsck /dev/hda4
