The loop device is pretty nifty. I use it to maintain a root-disk image used on a special-purpose diskless machine. To make changes to the root disk, i mount the image, update the FS, unmount it, compress it, and copy the compressed file to a floppy. Then i can bootstrap the system from that new and improved compressed root disk. This works great, except for one annoying detail.
After some amount of editing the root fs in the file, the mount count exceeds the "routine fsck" threshold, and the next time i commit the image to my root floppy and boot off it, the system complains when mounting the file system: "maximum mount count exceeded" or something like that. So my question is this: how do i fsck the filesystem in a file?
