The boolean options "force_no" in the problems stanza of e2fsck.conf
allows a particular problem code be treated as if the user will answer
"no" to the question of whether a particular problem should be fixed
--- even if e2fsck is run with the -y option.
As an example use case, suppose a distribution had widely deployed a
version of the kernel where under some circumstances, the EOFBLOCKS_FL
flag would be left set even though it should not be left set, and a
customer had a workload which exercised the fencepost error all the
time, resulting in many large number of inodes that had EOFBLOCKS_FL
set erroneously. Enough, in fact, the e2fsck runs were taking too
long. (There was such a bug in the kernel, which was fixed by commit
58590b06d in 2.6.36).
Leaving EOFBLOCKS_FL set when it should not be isn't a huge deal, and
is certainly than having high availability timeout alerts going off
left and right. So in this case, the best fix might be to put the
following in /etc/e2fsck.conf:
[problems]
0x010060 = { # PR_1_EOFBLOCKS_FL_SET
force_no = true
no_ok = true
no_nomsg = true
}

README
This is the new version (1.41.13) of the second extended file system management programs. From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix bugs and to make the utilities more robust. You can always find information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page, which is: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing e2fsprogs. Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files are supplied as well. In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu. See the e2fsck man page for suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug reports for these programs.
