fsck reports various types of errors, all repairable, like "INODE
CHECK-HASH FAILED", "FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK", "SUMMARY
INFORMATION BAD", "BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS", and "UNREF FILE".  If
I don't run fsck, then I get errors when I try to access files.  Like
"inode XXX: check-hash failed" and "such and such is marked as an
executable file but could not be run by the operating system".
