maximum mount count

[Ed Sawicki]

I'm running Fedora Core 2. dumpe2fs tells me that the
maximum mount count of the root partition is "-1". The
dumpe2fs man page doesn't document what -1 means.
Does someone here know?

If I adjust the maximum mount count to force the root
file system to be checked on the next boot, the check fails.
Yet, when I check that partition with Slackware, it checks
OK. Does someone know why this happens?
