filesystem needs foreground checking (usually at boot time) or
can defer to background checking (after the system is up and running).
See the manual page, fsck_ffs(8), for details on the -F and -B options.
These options are primarily intended for use by the fsck front end.
All output is directed to stdout so that the output is coherent
when redirected to a file or a pipe. Unify the code with the fsck
front end that allows either a device or a mount point to be
specified as the argument to be checked.
1) Set the FS_NEEDSFSCK flag when unexpected problems are encountered.
2) Clear the FS_NEEDSFSCK flag after a successful foreground cleanup.
3) Refuse to run in background when the FS_NEEDSFSCK flag is set.
4) Avoid taking and removing a snapshot when the filesystem is already clean.
5) Properly implement the force cleaning (-f) flag when in preen mode.
Note that you need to have revision 1.21 (date: 2001/04/14 05:26:28) of
fs.h installed in <ufs/ffs/fs.h> defining FS_NEEDSFSCK for this to compile.
affect current systems until fsck is modified to use these new
facilities. To try out this change, set the fsck passno to zero
in /etc/fstab to cause the filesystem to be mounted without running
fsck, then run `fsck_ffs -p -B <filesystem>' after the system has
been brought up multiuser to run a background cleanup on <filesystem>.
Note that the <filesystem> in question must have soft updates enabled.

The beginnings of the fsck wrappers stuff from NetBSD. This particular commit
brings a newly repo-copied sbin/fsck_ffs/ (from sbin/fsck/) into fsck wrappers
mode.
A quick overview (the code reflects this):
* Documentation changed to reflect fsck_ffs instead of fsck
* Simply acts on a single filesystem, doesn't try to do any multiple filesystem
magic - this is done by the fsck wrappers now
And then specific to fsck_ffs:
* link to /sbin/fsck_4.2bsd and /sbin/fsck_ufs. This is because right now
the filesystem is of type ufs not ffs, and that during autodetection the
labeltype rather than the VFS type is used - this is because when doing
an autodetection of filesystem type in the fsck wrapper program, it does
not have any link between label type (4.2bsd, vinum, etc) and VFS string.
Note that this shouldn't break a build since the required buildworld Makefile
magic and import of the fsck wrapper code into src/sbin/fsck/ will happen
in a seperate commit.

The problem turns out to be a program logic error in fsck. It stores
directory inodes internally in hash lists, using the number of
directories to form the hash key:
inpp = &inphead[inumber % numdirs];
Elsewhere, however, it increments numdirs when it finds unattached
directories. I've made the following fix, which solved the problem in
the case in hand.

preen (-p), and in that case the filesystem is skipped if it is clean.
A new flag "-f" for 'force' has been added which basically gives back
the old behavior of checking all the filesystems all the time. This
very closely models the behavior of SunOS and Ultrix.
