you impliment a single course of action/modification before diagnosis and irrespective of the system recomendations? such working practices would not go down well in any safety critcal industry (in medicine it would be called malpractice).
---- fsck *IS* supposed to be a first line diagnostic for file systems (unless the file system is designed to work without such -- like some journaling fs's. It's likely it won't be too many more years before 1st course of action in diagnosing a patient will be to run a computer workup of their symptoms. NOT doing so as a 1st line of action would be considered malpractice. Right now, medicine just isn't advanced enough to have a computer do it. Using a 'fsck' for a given file system would certainly be one of my first choices in analyzing it. If such a tool harmed the file system, then that's a severe bug in the file-system + fsck.

That's where you need to look to see if it is being used for "prime time". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
