The idea is the same as mount and its helpers - adding new fsck types doesn't require modifying the startup scripts or fsck. Think of a system where you have an FFS fs, an LFS fs, and perhaps an IFS fs. Each one requires a seperate fsck, but it would be stupid to have fsck_* -p in the rc scripts. Eventually FreeBSD systems will have more than just FFS based filesystems running the system, and users will want to fsck them just like a FFS filesystem. adrian -- Adrian Chadd Build a man a fire, and he's warm for the <adrian@FreeBSD.org> rest of the evening.
