OK; it works much better with the patch: it seems to work correctly,
from what I've tested so far.
[Below is a sketch of what I did, so folks will be able to judge how
much trust to place in the above assessment.]
* Booted -CURRENT into single-user mode. Even though this was a clean
reboot, I did a (complete) "fsck" before "mount -a", then fired up
tcsh to use as the shell for the following.
* I applied the patch from within the /urs/src/sbin/fsck directory. (Yeah,
I used -C first to make sure patch wouldn't whine too much.)
* Since the patch only affects the logic of a user-level program (vs.
the kernel, for example), I went ahead & typed "make" while I was
there.
* cd /sbin && mv fsck{,.save} && mv /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/fsck/fsck .
ls -l fsck*
chmod u-w fsck
* Re-boot -CURRENT, single-user mode. "fsck -p" now claims to check
each filesystem. Good.
* mount -a; things look good. Power-cycle the machine. (This is still
single-user mode, so the filesystems should merely have been marked
dirty because they're mounted, but nothing should actually have been
doing anything to them other than that.)
* Re-boot -CURRENT, single-user mode. "fsck-p" again does the usual and
expected fsck behavior -- all filesystems are checked & flagged
"clean".
I like it. :-)
Thanks,
david
