On some, like XFS, that program does nothing and tells me what other program to use,
BTDT. It told me to get an updated version of FSCK :-)

It is a simple script. Get an updated version is not there: cer@minas-tirith:~> cat /usr/sbin/fsck.xfs #!/bin/sh -f # # Copyright (c) 2006 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
