Since I initially did the import, I was waiting for the bugs to be ironed out of the system before I MFCed the fsck wrapper setup across to RELENG_4. There still is one remaining issue - people have this burning desire to be able to type: fsck /dev/blah .. and have it "just work", regardless of whether there's a UNIX disklabel or anything which could tell the wrapper what type of FS it is. msmith suggested a solution - each fsck type can "check" a given FS to see whether its of the right type. That way, fsck just has to run through all of the wrappers in /sbin/, and when one exit(0)s, we've found a match. To do that, I need to find something unique to identify IFS partitions with. IE, TODO list. Its there. Really. Along with everything else I'm trying to do. :-) Adrian > In message <20010330101855.A793@Fedaykin.here>, "Mario Sergio Fujikawa Ferreira > " writes: > > Perhaps, a worthy MFC candidate.
