- I've had big problems with the minix fs; fsck will tell me that a bunch
- of blocks aren't used in any file, then trash the files that (I suppose)
- used those blocks. Nor does this one damage fix the problem; the only
- thing that helps is reformatting the partition.
-
- I'd like to see the new extfs as soon as possible, with an fsck guaranteed
- to fix any and all accidental power-off corruptions. You can't really
- trust a system for real work until it has a working filesystem.
