Every once in a while, when I boot my box, it says that the root partition has been mounted 21 times, and has not been checked. That the check must be forced. It takes a long time to check the disk, then everything boots and works fine. Does this happen to everyone else? Is it necessary?

It is normal. It self checks every few boots.

Re: FSCK Disk Checking...
A while back there was a post that told how to change the number of boots until a forced check. I can't find it though. does anyone know the answer?
Re: FSCK Disk Checking...
The default is 30 boots. Unless there is an over riding reason to change it, I wouldn't.
But if you must.
A value of "0" for the check interval disables the checks. Something like "sudo tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sdx" should disable checks based on mount counts; then it is a matter of "sudo tune2fs -i 1m /dev/sdx" to check /dev/sdx each month.

Thanks Fred. My default was something like 22 or 24, and since I turn on my Linux computer several times a day, it was getting annoying. Once a month is better for me.
