=2E..and, for instance, it was one of the criticisms levelled at
reiserfs (v3) that its fsck implementation was rather brain dead
in some ways - it couldn't distinguish files contained in an image
of a reiserfs filesystem from those in the reiserfs filesystem that
the image file was in, plus it could discover files from a previous=20
reiserfs filesystem after it had been reformatted (as reiserfs).

Chris worked on reiserfs, so he probably doesn't really want to
go through all that again..

cheers,
Chris
