Subject: [PATCH 03/47] debugfs: Optionally ignore bad checksums
Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2011 00:33:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111008073335.17888.24215.stgit@elm3c44.beaverton.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111008073315.17888.22132.stgit@elm3c44.beaverton.ibm.com>

If someone is debugging a badly damaged filesystem, it might be useful to
disable the checksum verifications that will otherwise prevent the filesystem
from loading.
