Subject: [PATCH 07/18] e2fsck: verify checksums after checking everything else
Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:34:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140726003422.28334.29365.stgit@birch.djwong.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140726003339.28334.54447.stgit@birch.djwong.org>
There's a particular problem with e2fsck's user interface where
checksum errors are concerned: Fixing the first complaint about
a checksum problem results in the inode being cleared even if e2fsck
could otherwise have recovered it. While this mode is useful for
cleaning the remaining broken crud off the filesystem, we could at
least default to checking everything /else/ and only complaining about
the incorrect checksum if fsck finds nothing else wrong.
So, plumb in a config option. We default to "verify and checksum"
unless the user tell us otherwise.
