Subject: [PATCH e2fsprogs] Restore backup superblocks in preen mode
Date: Tue,  8 May 2007 18:43:24 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070508174324.40EBE7B409F@zog.reactivated.net> (raw)

The restoration of backup superblocks seems to be reversed in the current
e2fsprogs:

When running without preen mode, e2fsck searches and locates a backup
superblock and fixes the primary superblock without any user intervention.

When running in preen mode, e2fsck prints a message describing how the user
can specify the location of a backup superblock, and exits without doing any
repair.

This patch corrects the issue.
