Subject: Re: [PATCH] handle ext3 directory corruption better
Another expectation is that after the fsck, you won't loose any more
data that you could access by mounting the damaged filesystem. There
are a lot of horror stories out there of people only having a slightly
damaged fs, and after a fsck, they lost a lot more data.
