Maximal mount count means that your partition has been mounted a certain number of times that exceeds the maximum allowed [snip]
There's a way to change the value, maybe someone on the list can provide that.

Sometime on Apr 7, Satya assembled some asciibets to say:
The variable is deefined include/linux/ext2_fs.h as EXT2_DFL_MAX_MNT_COUNT in your linux src tree
Is a kernel recompile required, or can it be a lilo/loadlin option?
No no, don't change the source. Use tune2fs. It's a user space program that does this real time. No recompiling, no lilo, nothing. Just unmount, tune, mount.
# umount /dev/hda6 # tune2fs -C 9 /dev/hda6 tune2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Setting current mount count to 9 # mount /dev/hda6
HTH.
