It does not help modern compilers, and some may take some hit from it.
(I also found several functions that listed *every* of its 10 local vars with
"register" -- just how many free registers do people think machines have?)
These were mainly missing casts or wrong format strings in printf
statements, but there were also missing includes, unused variables,
functions and arguments.
The choice of `long' vs `int' still seems almost random in a lot
of places though.
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.
in-core pointers to summary information. An array in this region
(fs_csp) could overflow on filesystems with a very large number of
cylinder groups (~16000 on i386 with 8k blocks). When this happens,
other fields in the superblock get corrupted, and fsck refuses to
check the filesystem.
Solve this problem by replacing the fs_csp array in 'struct fs'
with a single pointer, and add padding to keep the length of the
128-byte region fixed. Update the kernel and userland utilities
to use just this single pointer.
With this change, the kernel no longer makes use of the superblock
fields 'fs_csshift' and 'fs_csmask'. Add a comment to newfs/mkfs.c
to indicate that these fields must be calculated for compatibility
with older kernels.

utilities which use bits of fsck_ffs - namely quotacheck and fsdb.
In depth, utilities.c contains blockcheck() which is needed by both,
but also a slew of routines which require bits of the FFS code to be
compiled in. This breaks the fs-specific and non-fs-specific code
up into two files (well, blockcheck() is the only routine in utilities.c,
that'll change later) which makes building fsck_ffs, quotacheck and
fsdb work yet again.
(You won't find commits to fsdb and quotacheck here before I haven't
committed the post-fsck-wrappers version of them yet.)
