The '-f' parameter is fsck.ext# specific, where it's documented to:

_repair_test_fs() is only called on _check_test_fs() failure, so
dropping the parameter should be possible without changing ext#
behaviour.
Doing so fixes _repair_test_fs() on exfat, where fsck.exfat doesn't
support '-f'.

v2: drop -f from default case instead of splitting out exfat case

This version is good to me.

I remembered you hope to add a btrfs branch to _repair_scratch_fs and
_repair_test_fs [1]. Is that still in your plan? Anand, could you provide
more suggestions about that?

Thanks for bringing to my notice.

The reason fstyp=btrfs has not detected this missing part so far is
that 'fsck -t btrfs' returns 0, along with a message to use 'btrfs
check', which means repair is never invoked for the 'fstyp=btrfs'.

The appropriate repair command to use here is 'btrfs check --repair'.
However, it would be better to address this in a separate patch
as I guess some tests may fail. I will send a patch for it.

Thanks, Anand
