User request:

BTW: Could you please add some sort of deleted and possibly corrupted file
     and inode list to e2fsck report. There should be filenames deleted
     from directory inodes, files with duplicate blocks e.t.c.
     It's pretty annoying to filter this information from e2fsck output
     by hand :-

------------------------------------------

Add a "answer Yes always to this class of question" response.

----------------------------------

ext2fs_flush() should return a different error message for primary
versus backup superblock flushing, so that mke2fs can print an
appropriate error message.

-----------------------------------

Put code into e2fsck to support imagic inodes....

---------------------------------

Deal with the case where /lost+found isn't a directory....

I'm reading the sorce code of e2fsck 1.14.
In pass2.c, lines 352-357, I read:

if ((dirent->name_len & 0xFF) > EXT2_NAME_LEN) {
        if (fix_problem(ctx, PR_2_FILENAME_LONG, &cd->pctx)) {
                dirent->name_len = EXT2_NAME_LEN;
                dir_modified++;
        }
}

I think that I'll never see any messages about too long filenames,
because "whatever & 0xFF" can never be "> 0xFF".
Am I wrong?

debugfs --- ls of a corrupt directory (or a non-directory inode) with
inconsistent lengths can cause it to core dump!  Should fix to make it
more robust.
