I once started to create an fsdb, but didn't get much far.

What would people like to have done there?  Perhaps, if there's a
reasonable interest, i could put it on my personal list of things that
``might be done some day''.

The old fsdb as i've seen it on some SysV-alike systems had a terrible
syntax.  When going for a rewrite, i'd prefer somethin more rationale.
But it's always bothering me that the only chance to get a file system
fsck'd is to answer all the questions there with the defaults (making
it effectively behave identical to an ``fsck -y''), no chance to even
correct something.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
