It is, in some cases, broken. With the munging that was going on multiple passes were required to make the metadata self-consistent, and even then I'm not sure it was really "right". Fsck should require exactly ONE pass (possibly with "-y") to end up self-consistent. You may lose files that way, but it should never require a second run before it marks the filesystem "clean" and means it. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin http://www.mcs.net/ | T1's from $600 monthly / All Lines K56Flex/DOV | NEW!
