suggestion is a good one - look at the mount count configuration for a
starter.

OK, I studied the tune2fs manpage. I found that it controls what happens
when a certain mount count or mount interval is reached. Which requires
mount count and time to be already stored in the filesystem. What I need
is not to prevent the reaction to this data (count and time). What I
need is to prevent this data to be updated in the first place during
mount while booting.

The question is, then, as usual; why is it important?

It detects malicious tampering with the boot system.
