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.
