Suggesting that it 'attempts to detect' may give the wrong impression. Someone would have to look at the source of fsck(8) to be sure. -- Allan Jude _______________________________________________ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
