I suppose it is something more akin to the fsck that ext* still have, but XFS omits: you can totally trust the journal to recover for you,

are you sure you don't mean btrfs there instead of xfs? xfs_check and xfs_repair definitely exist. btw, when btrfs is stable/production-system-ready then the authors are correct - fsck won't be necessary. same as it isn't necessary on ZFS. they both do (or will do in the case of btrfs) continuous consistency checking and file-level checksumming. and the btrfs authors are right to focus on improving btrfs itself rather than getting too side-tracked by an fsck tool. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #374: It's the InterNIC's fault.
