Subject: [PATCH 2/5] e2fsck: don't restart after a critical metadata collision in e2fsck -n mode
Date: Sun, 23 Jul 2017 00:50:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170723045035.26019-2-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170723045035.26019-1-tytso@mit.edu>

If the file system isn't going to be changed, there's no point
restarting; it will just cause e2fsck to loop forever.

This problem was found using American Fuzzy Lop.
