Has anyone run into a situation where you'd answer "no" to an fsck question? In what circumstances would you not answer "yes"? I can't remember ever answering "no" to fsck: if you do, you'll still have an unstable filesystem and won't be able to use it safely. If you answer "yes", the contents may be wrong, but the filesystem itself will be stable and usable. Thoughts? -- Steve Coile
