Attached is a patch that bring this up to date..  This was written back

I've had Kirk review the patch, and he's fine w/ it...

Shall I just commit it?

fsck should be either &man.fsck.8; or <command>fsck</command>, depending

There is a duplicated "the" in the first paragraph.  igor -Rz should be

This is a single reply, thanks to the three of you for reviewing the

The style guide says to avoid "e.g." (it's Latin, and typically from academic and scientific environments). igor checks for the correct form, which is with both periods and followed by a comma.

'igor -Ry filename' will give style suggestions for several things, including e.g. and i.e. and some other abbreviations.

Personally, I prefer "like" when suggesting similarity. It might be easier for translators.
