So any idea why the fsck fails although no errors are left on the file
system? Is the fsck failure code -1 instead of any positive integer
larger than 1? You might understand that I am not willing to fsck up
this file system as much that it "really" fails (ie still contains
errors after the initial fsck).
Bye,
Leonard.
