Subject: Heads up: Integration of ufs fsck rewrite
With the putback for bugs :
1260290 RFE: fsck error: UNKNOWN FILE TYPE describes multiple error
conditions
4836779 fsck requires multiple runs to clear up DUP or BAD blocks
4845221 ufs/fsck can't handle filesystem name argument
4857410 ufs_sync_indir() walks off the end of the i_ib array
4872089 fsck almost always reports FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK
4890510 fsck can't properly recover the filesystem
5086715 ufs fsck has memory leaks
6175186 fsck should not need to be run multiple times
6208131 fsck needs to be able to recover filesystem problems
and PSARC cases :
2005/044 UFS fsck rerun messaging
2005/045 UFS fsck verbose option
2005/051 UFS fsck automated search for a backup superblocks
Improvements have been made to fsck to reduce the number of runs required to
completely clean a corrupt filesystem and report a need for a RERUN of fsck
when fsck determines it is necessary.
There are no behavioral oddities if you get a mismatched fsck and ufs as
there
are no dependencies between the changes and the ufs kernel module.
If any problems arise with the new fsck :
bug cat/subcat is :
utility/filesystem
