Then all I can say is, please, please, please remove the disk format
change from the fsck as soon as you can, because people will want
to fsck their disks without data loss.

Hans asked to take the programs away, I agree, if a convertion program
is coming. Also there are bugfixes, which should be released, so maybe
re-release the progs without fsck converting backup blocks...

You could then release the convertion program separately or include
it in the next reiser4progs package.

Do you think this is possible for the common good?

Thanks!
