Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-2538:
----------------------------------------
bq. Also, this does need to have the dots on by default for compatibility.
I humbly and respectfully disagree. The key question is compatibility against
what? We're talking about command line output that I suspect the vast majority
of people are filtering out and has *no* stability label that I'm aware of.
What could possibly break by removing the dots?
> option to disable fsck dots

> this patch turns the dots during fsck off by default and provides an option
> to turn them back on if you have a fetish for millions and millions of dots
> on your terminal. i haven't done any benchmarks, but i suspect fsck is now
> 300% faster to boot.
