Some people have mentioned on these lists that you need to run DFA 
multiple times sometimes to fix a problem.

Well, they're right.

A user had a crash today, his Powerbook came back up with a flashing 
question mark.

Booted from the system CD, ran DFA. It found a huge pile of problems 
overlapping extents, etc., repaired most of them and said to run it again.

Running again it found fewer problems, repaired those.

Running it a third time it found "Mount check found a minor problem" and 
repaired it.

I ran DFA two more times; it reported the same Mount Check error and 
repaired it.

Ran Tech Tool Pro; it found an unspecified problem and repaired it.

Ran DFA *again* it pops up the same minor Mount Check error.

But the last time the castle stood err...DFA found no problems...;-)

So when in doubt, run DFA again...
