Comment 7 for bug 85291

I have been using an external drive formatted with ext3 for about a year through several Ubuntu releases, and because I shut down that system almost every night, I find that about once a month the drive won't mount and I have to fsck it before it mounts normally -- you can see the "too many mounts" message if you look in the logs but unfortunately there's NO indication in the GUI of the source of the problem.
