"tune2fs -j /dev/hda2
(as root, only for kernel that support ext3--RH7.2) Adjust the tuneable parameter of an ext2 filesystem. The example above shows how to add a journal to a disk partition (hda2 in this example), effectively converting the file system to ext3 (journaling) filesystem. To complete the transition, you must also edit the file /etc/fstab and change the filesystem type from ext2 to ext3, else you may run into problems--ext2 will not mount an uncleanly shut down journaled filesystem! To check what is the type of the filesystem use mount (with no arguments) or cat /etc/mtab. If you need more information on ext3 setup, try: http://www.symonds.net/~rajesh/howto/ext3/ext3-5.html.
Other options of tune2fs let you me add a volume label, adjust the number of mounts after which the filesystem check is performed (maximal mount count), or turn on time-based filesystem checks instead (less often used). "

This should not lock out a mount but simply cause a file system check when this count is reached. My only comment here is that the command line might be the best way to adjust this.

I am running Mandriva 2010 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
No history of problems.
Until now as the system hangs on boot as it checks for new hardware.
I can get into single user mode using the rescue disk.
However, I cannot find a fix to this.
I somehow need to reset the maximum counter fs check through
control center but this is not possible in current locked out state.
