Greetings. I just had a RAID crash which required some recovery with
fsck_ffs.
Two problems with fsck_ffs in 5.2 were discovered:
1. There is a divide-by-0 error that happens under some conditions when
the contents of the superblock and the backup superblock are partially
damaged.
=>Would you like a fix for this?
2. There is no obvious functionality to scan the whole hard-drive for
backup superblocks.
=> I've written such a program. If I integrate it into fsck, will you
take the mods?
