I haven't looked much into fsck, so I have no idea how this is
accomplished? Is this a modified copy of fsck that only checks inodes
marked as used, or is there some other method for doing this (besides a
journaling fs that is :-)
Also, it seems like 64 bit processors will be in use before 1 TB
filesystems are common. Won't the filesystem need to be 64-bitted for
that?
