Subject: Re: [PATCH 09/35] e2fsck: abort on read error beyond end of FS

It isn't clear what the benefit of this patch is?  There are times (e.g. if
a partition table is broken or if a single-disk filesystem is changed
to an MD RAID device) that it is useful to run e2fsck on such a filesystem.

With this patch, it's essentially turning a small error into a fatal one, but
what is the benefit?

Cheers, Andreas
