Re: EXT4-fs (sdd6): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck

Short reply: Have you run e2fsck on the partition?  Warning – do NOT run e2fsck on a mounted partition.

The warning message suggests you have not enabled filesystem checking for this partition in your fstab.  Fixing your fstab would have e2fsck run automatically on a schedule.

You may run e2fsck manually.  If you are uncomfortable using e2fsck at the command line, Gparted uses e2fsck with sane defaults: from the menu, Partition > Check.
