Subject: [PATCH] e2fsck: ignore differing NEEDS_RECOVERY flag on backup sbs
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:02:48 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49281F18.7080404@redhat.com> (raw)

This is for RH bugzilla 471925 -  Complete scan of filesystems expanded online

When we resize online, the primary superblock gets copied to all
the backups, and of course since we're mounted the NEEDS_RECOVERY
flag is set.  A subsequent fsck will find the backups have the
NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set while the primary does not, and this
forces a full fsck pass.

I think this flag can be safely ignored in the flag comparisons.
