background fsck will simply ignore these inconsistencies rather
than fail.

states. First its new name will be created causing it to have two
names (from possibly different parents). Next, if it has different
parents, its value of ".." will be changed from pointing to the old
parent to pointing to the new parent. Concurrently, its old name
will be removed bringing it back into a consistent state. When fsck
encounters an extra name for a directory, it offers to remove the
"extraneous hard link"; when it finds that the names have been
changed but the update to ".." has not happened, it offers to rewrite
".." to point at the correct parent. Both of these changes were
considered unexpected so would cause fsck in preen mode or fsck in
background mode to fail with the need to run fsck manually to fix
these problems.
This update changes these errors to be expected so that in preen
mode fsck will simply fix these transitional errors. For now,
background fsck will note these errors, but will need additional
kernel support to fix them, so will simply ignore them rather than
fail. A future update will allow background fsck to fix these
problems.

robust. With these changes fsck is now able to detect and reliably
rebuild corrupted cylinder group maps. The -D option is no longer
necessary as it has been replaced by a prompt asking whether the
corrupted cylinder group should be rebuilt and doing so when requested.
These actions are only offered and taken when running fsck in manual
mode. Corrupted cylinder groups found during preen mode cause the fsck
to fail.
Add the -r option to free up excess unused inodes. Decreasing the
number of preallocated inodes reduces the running time of future
runs of fsck and frees up space that can allocated to files. The -r
option is ignored when running in preen mode.

cylindergroup has good signature data, and prompts the user to decide
whether to clear it as a whole.
This mode is useful when there is data damage on a disk and you are
working on copy of the original disk, as fsck_ffs(8) tends to abnormally
exit in such case, as a last resort to recover data from the disk.

Due to the complexity of the mount parsing code especially
with respect to the root file system, passing in MNT_RDONLY and MNT_UPDATE
flags would do weird things and would cause fsck to convert the root
file system from a read-only mount to read-write.

value that is used to compared with fs_bsize, the sizeof fs, so the
check followed, will be always true.
By inspecting the code and some old commit log, I believe that the
check must be that *fs_sbsize* is larger than sizeof fs. We round
up the size to nearest dev_bsize, as the smallest accepted fs_sbsize,
personally, I think this can be even changed to equal, because this
number is mostly an invariant in file systems.
With this check, fsck_ffs(8) will be more picky and has better
chance rejecting bad first superblock rather than referring to bad

filesystem carefully.

initializing the sysctl mibs data before actually using them.
The original patchset (which is the actual version that is running
on my testboxes) have checked whether all of these sysctls and
refuses to do background fsck if we don't have them. Kirk has
pointed out that refusing running fsck on old kernels is pointless,
as old kernels will recompute the summary at mount time, so I
have removed these checks.
Unfortunatelly, as the checks will initialize the mib values of
those sysctl's, and which are vital for the runtime summary
adjustment to work, we can not simply remove the check, which
will lead to problem when running background fsck over a dirty
volume. Add these checks in a different way: give a warning rather
than refusing to work, and complain if the functionality is not
available when adjustments are necessary.

very slow process, especially for large file systems that is just
recovered from a crash.
Since the summary is already re-sync'ed every 30 second, we will
not lag behind too much after a crash. With this consideration
in mind, it is more reasonable to transfer the responsibility to
background fsck, to reduce the delay after a crash.
Add a new sysctl variable, vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount, to
control this behavior. When set to nonzero, we will get the
"old" behavior, that the summary is computed immediately at mount
time.
Add five new sysctl variables to adjust ndir, nbfree, nifree,
nffree and numclusters respectively. Teach fsck_ffs about these
API, however, intentionally not to check the existence, since
kernels without these sysctls must have recomputed the summary
and hence no adjustments are necessary.
This change has eliminated the usual tens of minutes of delay of
mounting large dirty volumes.
