# 1.25 12-Jul-2014 dholland

Revert version 1.111 of sysinst/disks.c, which caused sysinst to
create lfs fstab entries with fsck disabled, and instead patch
fsck_lfs to exit successfully without doing anything when given the -p
(bootup preen) option. If you really want to do fsck_lfs -p, you can
do fsck_lfs -f -p to make it go.

This has been sitting in my todo queue since February 2010 and was
ok'd by the committer at the time. The original commit was based on
this post:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2010/02/09/msg007306.html

and I remain unconvinced that it's the right thing, but we can at
least do it properly and not ship a sysinst with -7 that creates
permanently wrong fstab files.

Note that this may cause problems for anyone who's taken -p out of the
bootup fsck flags; but doing that is wrong, so don't.

# 1.9 08-Feb-2002 ross

Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.


# 1.8 07-Feb-2002 ross

Edit -mdoc usage.

* There is no -indent option to .Bd or .Bl, although you would
never know that from its frequent use in this tree. There is a
"-offset indent" combination that makes sense, and you can certainly
say "-width indent".

* Also, you can't markup the -width option argument, tho you CAN
use a callable macro. So "-width Ar filename" doesn't make sense,
but either "-width Ar" or "-width filename" does, as might something
like "-width xxfilename" for a little extra space.

* There are a lot of needlessly complex hanging tag macros in man4 used
to create simple item lists. Those should be simplified one of these
days before someone copies and edits yet another man4 page.

Xref newfs_lfs instead of newlfs; whitespace fixes while I'm here.


# 1.4 07-Nov-2000 lukem

fix up various .Nm abuses:
- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
occurrences in a SYNOPSIS
- use Sx, Ic, Li, Em, Sq, and Xr as appropriate

branches: 1.3.4;
fsck_lfs can now write to the filesystem, allowing it to correct most
(though still not all) errors in a damaged lfs. Segment byte accounting
is corrected in pass 5. "fsck_lfs -p" will do a partial roll-forward,
verifying the checkpoint from the newer superblock. fscknames[] is
updated so that fsck knows about fsck_lfs.

# 1.2 19-Mar-1999 perseant

"LFS" really stands for "Log-*structured* File System"


# 1.1 18-Mar-1999 perseant

Initial checkin of fsck_lfs. This version cannot do any repair (-p flag
does nothing, and one of -p or -n is required) but can be useful as a
diagnostic tool.
