The ext2fs superblock (the structure that keeps summary and important
information for the filesystem) has one of the field has timestamp.
Now clearly it doesn't make any sense
for the filesystem getting mounted to have a future timestamp. It
regards this has inconsistency and hence you need to fsck it. You need
to figure out why is it taking a
future timestamp.
You can analyse the superblock by dumpe2fs from e2fsprogs.
