"tune2fs -i0 -c0" to disable that. Fedora installers do that automatically for filesystems created in disk druid. If you run mke2fs manually, it tells you at the end of every run: This filesystem will be automatically checked every 28 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. That notice is there for a reason. :-) --Stephen
