Hi,
/sbin/fsck.xfs is a continuing source of confusion and misconception
("XFS doesn't even have a fsck, what kind of fs has no repair
utilities?"), part of this has been fixed by making the man page more
informative, but i think it would also be helpful to have the actual
program print a message notifying the user that its use is not
necessary.
My patch causes fsck.xfs to print:
/dev/hda3: XFS filesystem, no check required.
Suggestions on other wordings for this message are welcome, but I
think this one should be fine. I was thinking of perhaps
/dev/hda3: XFS filesystem, no automatic check required.
Patch enclosed.
