fsck set to run every X number of mounts

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

Not solved.

What is the output of:

sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

mcpulley@GX:~$ sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Then use /dev/sdb in the command, instead of /dev/sda1

Read the output.....

Then use /dev/sdb in the command

mcpulley@GX:~$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sdb | grep -i mount

tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb

/dev/sda

mcpulley@GX:~$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda | grep -i mount

Look at the command in your initial question, then compare it to your last update...you'll see where it went wrong.

Think about it.....

Have though about it. Still missing something.
Here is same commands in Ubuntu 10.04. (Did break one long command in to two commands)

Why does same command work on Ubuntu 10.04 and Xubuntu 12.04, but not on Ubuntu 12.04? I quit copy and paste, and now typing them in.

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.

Solved, Use the first Linux drive.
