[PATCH] xfs_repair: warn about dirty log with -n option

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

 



When looking at xfs_repair -n output today, we have no idea if
reported errors may be due to an un-replayed dirty log.  If this
is the case, mention it in the output.
