Subject: two fsck.ext4's needed to clean filesystem

Hi!

pavel@amd:~/misc$ /sbin/fsck.ext4 -y -f delme
...

pavel@amd:~/misc$ /sbin/fsck.ext4 -y -f delme
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)

pavel@amd:~/misc$ /sbin/fsck.ext4 -V
 e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
 Using EXT2FS Library version 1.42.12, 29-Aug-2014

Is that considered ok? Should fsck restart itself or report
'filesystem still has errors' in this case?

Thanks and best regards,
