It is not, in fact, a magic wand that fixes filesystems on the fly; it is a tool to try to avoid corruption and to speed up bringing a filesystem up to date. And, poorly implemented and applied with the mentality you're showing, it is quite good at covering up serious corruption until it is far too late to fix it. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
