With "tune2fs -c # device" you can adjust the mount counter.

Read man tune2fs.

Hello,


You need to edit them in /etc/fstab file. What does your fstab file say.?..

amartlk,

man fstab would have been your friend in this case.

The sixth field (fs_passno).
This field is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.

you can change the sixth field of /etc/fstab to force the fsck.

Read the man page for tune2fs & review the suggestions contained in this post and you will be close to what you want. You can force it by count of mounts staring at 1 or by days starting at 1. In order to take advantage of this you need to have the drive coded for checks in the /etc/fstab file.

If you don't understand please be specific as to what you don't understand. Re asking the same question will not help others help you.


Code:
tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sdX

or 

tune2fs -i 1d /dev/sdx



vim /etc/fstab

---- Change as directed above
