Actually, you pointed up an interesting inconsistency we have with
ourselves:

fsdb (inum: 2)> q
*** FILE SYSTEM MARKED DIRTY
*** BE SURE TO RUN FSCK TO CLEAN UP ANY DAMAGE
*** IF IT WAS MOUNTED, RE-MOUNT WITH -u -o reload
root@time-> mount -u -o reload /junk 
mount: -o reload: option not supported

Nice instance of misdirecting the user, eh? :-)

Your other tools sound interesting, though I always shrink somehow at
the thought of *more* UNIX commands populating the system.  Wouldn't
it be better to simply enhance fsdb to provide the additional display
and recovery options you want?
