> You can keep things well balanced with pass numbers. At least in the 3.4 version, the only uses of "fs_passno" in the "sbin/fsck" directory are in "main.c", where "docheck()" concludes that if "fs_passno" is 0, the file system doesn't have to be checked, and "preen.c", where "checkfstab()", during a preen, checks file systems with "fs_passno" of 1 sequentially in the first pass and checks file systems with "fs_passno" of 2 in parallel on the second pass. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it looks as if the pass number is a tri-state value: 0 don't check it at all 1 check it during the first pass 2 or higher check it during the second pass I think it's been that way for years (pre-Net-2).
