From https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab:




default is every 30 mounts




Run this to see your current setting:



sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 | grep "Maximum mount count"


I have a value of -1 instead of the 30 that help.ubuntu.com is telling me. You can use sudo tune2fs -c XXX /dev/sdXY to change the frequency.
