There are broken embedded devices that have system clocks that always
reset to January 1, 1970 whenever they boot (even if no power is
lost). There are also systems that have super cheap clock crystals
that can be very inaccurate. So if the option broken_system_clock is
given, disable all time based checks. E2fsck will also try to detect
incorrect system clock times, and automatically mark the system clock
as insane.

A user was surprised when -n -D caused the file system to be opened
read/write, and then outsmarted himself when e2fsck asked the question:
WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.
Do you really want to continue (y/n)?
This is partially our fault for not documenting the fact that -D
overrode opening the filesystem read-write. But the bottom line is it
much safer if -n *always* opens the file system read-only, so there
can be no confusion. This means that we have to disable certain
combination of options, such as "-n -c", "-n -l", and "-n -L", and
"-n -D", but the utility of these combinations is pretty low, and
is more than offset by making e2fsck idiot-proof.

One of our customers hit a temporary IO error during an e2fsck run during

e2fsck automatically discarding the journals and recreating them on several

The following patch moves the e2fsck error handler initialization earlier
in the e2fsck startup code before the journal is processed, so that the
user will be prompted for an action. This is the first IO that is not
part of ext2fs_open() where fs->io is first initialized.
It doesn't seem possible to initialize the error handlers for the initial
filesystem open without changing the prototype for ext2fs_open2(). If we
are getting a new ext2fs_open3() prototype for 64-bit it might make sense
to add at least "read_error" as a parameter ("write_error" is not strictly
necessary for the open and could be set afterward).

If we are checking a mounted filesystem (typically the root
filesystem, mounted read/only) and the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag is not set,
skip all of the checks associated with making sure the journal is
consistent. There is the very slight possibility we could lose if the
NEEDS_RECOVERY flag was somehow cleared even though there was data in
the journal, but this has practically never happend in practice, and
it reduces the number of reads required at boot-time, which is a big
deal when trying to reduce boot times with HDD's.

This patch changes ext2fs_open() to set EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY by
default. This avoids some problems in e2fsck (reported by Jim Garlick)
where a corrupt journal can end up writing the bad superblock to the

tune2fs, and resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default.
Most callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching anything where the
backups should be touched. So let's change the defaults to avoid

The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other block device
drivers, in that if the device has been opened with O_EXCL, it disallows
another open(), even if the second open() does not have the O_EXCL flag.
So this patch moves the call to ext2fs_get_device_size() so that if it
returns EBUSY, e2fsck can close the filesystem, retry the device size,
and then reopen it. This rather complicated approach is required since
we need to know the blocksize of the filesystem before we can call
ext2fs_get_device_size().

What's happening is that when you run on battery, e2fsck will delay
running the filesystem check, on the assumption that it is better to
defer the check until some time in the future when your laptop is
running on AC mains again. This deferral is not infinite, however; if
the number of mounts exceeds twice the max mount counts, or if the
interval between checks exceeds twice the check interval, e2fsck will
force the check even though you are on battery.
I've changed the sources to print a message to make this more clear.
