Hi,

I figured it out.

In e2fsck/e2fsck.h FSCK_REBOOT is defined (also in lib/evms/fsimext2.h),
also with value 2. Look like redundant defines, but maybe there is a
reason not to include e2fsck.h in fsimext2.h.

Now in e2fsck/unix.c the exit status always gets or-ed with FSCK_REBOOT
when the changed file system is the root file system. Why is this
necessary?

Bye,
Leonard.
