[Filesystems-devel] Bug#942121: f2fs-tools: Please do not force to FSCK when changing kernel.

[Theodore Y. Ts'o]

Control: tag 942121 +upstream

Hi Chao, Jaeguk,

Could you take a look at this complaint and let me know if I should
close the bug as Working As Intended or not?

The concern seems to be that for desktop distros (which I know was not
f2fs's original target), some users update their kernels frequently,
and for them, they are finding the overhead running fsck.f2fs on every
kernel upgrade to be overly burdensome.

Thanks,

					- Ted
