A similar attempt has been done previously by Christoph > Hellwig some time ago. Thanks (also thanks to Christoph)! I didn't forget about this task. It's still in my TODO list. It seems that the fsck wrapper in e2fsprogs is optional (--enable-fsck) so we needn't any extra change to e2fsprogs. It would be nice to add a note "fsck is deprecated in favor of fsck from util-linux-ng" to RELEASE-NOTES in e2fsprogs. > Patch 1 is the initial move with minor adjustments for the > build system. > Patch 2 adds support for the fsprobe library wrapper.

We also need a --disable-fsck configure option. Karel -- Karel Zak
