[PATCH] e2fsck: ignore differing NEEDS_RECOVERY flag on backup sbs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is for RH bugzilla 471925 -  Complete scan of filesystems expanded online

When we resize online, the primary superblock gets copied to all
the backups, and of course since we're mounted the NEEDS_RECOVERY
flag is set.  A subsequent fsck will find the backups have the
NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set while the primary does not, and this
forces a full fsck pass.

I think this flag can be safely ignored in the flag comparisons.
