I understand the basics of file layout, inodes and inode/file-name mapping and such. But I still basically always hit yes to fix any FS errors! Is there any guide to educate on when to say no ;)
About the RFE. That sounds interesting. Having sshd into initrd would be useful. But what would be more useful is having the "actual" console messages/errors printed there. i.e. Is there a way to have that telnetd in busybox (or sshd) actually be a "virtual" console that shows errors, and accepts logins and system repair operations ? Let me know if that can be done somehow. Basically, it should be just like a serial console, just over sshd umm .. maybe screen inside sshd ?
