Suitably damaged ffs file systems should also cause panics (as soon as possible so that the damage doesn't grow). fsck_foofs must be run before mounting [possibly-]damaged foofs file systems. This is not so easy for msdosfs file systems since there is no fsck_msdosfs. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
