RE#22 Looking at the screenshots (and logs) however, it is apparant that part
of the problem is that repair *is* executing fsck on drives marked as part of
MD raid arrays, which if allowed to 'fix' them, would damage data contained on
those drives. This is part of the problem. I routinely fsck /dev/mdN as part
of maintenance efforts. I can see no real reason given that repair can
identify (and did) the MD arrays and file systems, why it chose to fsck the raw
device rather than the filesystem the devices held. Regardless, it should
exclude the devices part of MD, DM LVM ... etc special purpose devices from
fsck scans IMO. I thought repair checked file *systems* or structures, not the
drives, eg, badblock tests etc.
