The main problem I have had putting a system together that could be
developed on is hard disk corruption. Every now and again something happnes
that means the disk is not unmounted cleanly, and it never gets checked.
The state of the disk gets worse and worse until the system no longer runs
and needs to be re-installed.
The version of fsck that I posted a while back is nearly ready, but needs
field testing, and fixing. If anyone can spare the time, please give it a
try on some genuinly unstable filesystems and see how well it fixes them.
