Exactly.  If you do a read only mount of an inconsistent filesystem, you
/expect/ to get inconsistent results from trying to read an inconsistent
filesystem.  The whole idea though, is that you make your best effort to
access the data without modifying it and possibly causing more damage.

Since the lkml seems to have their head in the sand on this one, what
are the odds on Ubuntu diverging?
