etc/rc.d/fsck doesn't know how to interpret the new exit code and now
just drops to a single-user shell when it is encountered. This is
happening to me semi-regularly when my test systems crash, especially
when I test kernel panic handling. :)
Is there any reason etc/rc.d/fsck shouldn't automatically retry (up to
some configurable number of retries) when the new error code is seen?
The patch below seems to do the trick for me:
