I remember a post of Kirk McKusick forwarded by someone to one of the lists that mentioned why this is necessary. Some of the filesystem metadata and/or superblock information is kept in different places now. The mount won't fail if you try it without having run fsck before, but disk usage reporting tools like du and df will print wrong information until you *do* run the fsck.Received on Tue Sep 07 2004 - 18:00:55 UTC
