That message is for an nfs network device while the same message at the bottom is for the cifs interface to the same device, but why is it saying that they are not a device when they were successfully mounted. Having said this though I was trying to use this as a safeguard against the device not "talking" causing, as it has done in the past, other mounts to not be done.
The message is a bit arbitrary, but checking a network file system from the remote is not intended IIRC, so disable the file system check option in fstab. Do the checks on the remote system.
Although the message is not as clear as it might be, it's still a big no-no to try to run fsck on *any* mounted filesystem, local or remote. Given that remote implies mounted, that's enough reason for the error.
