There have been times when I have rebooted a system after a couple of months of uptime that the OS automatically does a
file system check of all partitions. The message on the screen states that the files system has not been checked in X
number s of days. Anyone know where this number is kept?

You can use "dumpe2fs" to display that (and a lot of other) information
about an ext2/ext3 partition, and "tune2fs" to change your settings.

tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 | grep 'ount count'

gets me:

Mount count: 2
Maximum mount count: 28

That information is kept in the superblock of each partition.
