/dev.hdb1 has reached maximal mount count, check forced .... ?

[Russell Power]

It's doing it to make sure your filesystem stays nice and clean and healthy
and happy.  It's doing a filesystem check.  You can change the frequency of
the checks, as well as a whole lot of other stuff with the tune2fs command -
try man tune2fs.
