At the fear of being difficult the OP wanted to check every 10 mounts
and that is:
tune2fs -c 10 /dev/sdx
not: tune2fs -i 10 /dev/sdx
-c max-mount-counts
Adjust the number of mounts after which the filesystem will be
checked by e2fsck(8). If max-mount-counts is 0 or -1, the number
of times the filesystem is mounted will be disregarded by
e2fsck(8) and the kernel.
-i interval-between-checks[d|m|w]
Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No
postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w in weeks.A
value of zero will disable the time-dependent checking.
