Hi,

Here is a patch that will help fsck_ffs(8) to recover from certain types
of damages which is caused by some catastrophic damage seen in some disk
arrays that does not detect data errors in time.

Change summary:

fsutil.c:
 - Really update standard superblock.  fsck_ffs -b used to update the
backup superblock which does not recover file systems which have bad
master superblocks.
 - Instead of coredump, zero out whole cg if its signature is bad.

inode.c:
 - Instead of coredump, zero out whole cg if its signature is bad.

pass1.c:
 - If cg gives insane initediblk, use a fallback one which will not
cause allocation failure.

setup.c:
 - Really sanity check the superblock's fs_sbsize.

With these changes, fsck_ffs will be able to check file systems with
heavily damaged cylinder group information, and have a better chance
surviving.

Comments?

Cheers,
- --
