From: Bill Nottingham <notting@xxxxxxxxxx>
Anaconda has been setting the max mount count on the root fs
to -1 (unused) for ages.
I (Eric) tend to agree that using mount count as a proxy for potential
for corruption seems odd. And waiting for fsck on a reboot just because
it's number 20 (or so) is painful. Can we just turn it off by default?
I wouldn't mind killing the periodic check as well, but consider
this a trial balloon. :)
