This is the response I received from a Dell technician on how to clear the error:

You need to run the command tune2fs on the partition. I just performed tune2fs on a mounted system without incident on a RHEL4 system. This article would have been for RedHat 6-ish.
To find which partition needs to have the mount count changed use
df
to list all the partitions then run
dumpe2fs /dev/YourDev | grep Max
to see what the max mount count for a given partition is. Replace YourDev with sda, sda2, etc. Change that count using the following
tune2fs –c 100 /dev/YourDev
where 100 is some arbitrarily large number. The mount count need not be the same for all partitions. In fact, they should all be different to keep from having a check forced on all partitions at the same time.
If you run e2fsck, be sure to unmount the partition first.

I've tried this successfully on my ESX3 server, hope this helps. I still haven't found out what the original mount count settings were, so I have no idea if this is normal, just the result of the recent upgrade, or an actual issue.
