Hi, what is your filesystem on this partition ?
I don't very well, but maybe you can see the tune2fs command,
for example <tune2fs -l > (for ext2/3/4) list the current values of your
filesystem :
~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda6
Last checked: Fri Feb 5 11:48:41 2010
Check interval: 15552000 (6 months)
And you can use the same command to change it:
~]# man tune2fs
-i interval-between-checks[d|m|w]
Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No
postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w
in weeks. A value of zero will disable the time-dependent
checking.
