Subject: [PATCH 03/37] debugfs: Optionally ignore bad checksums
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 17:35:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110901003530.1176.64798.stgit@elm3c44.beaverton.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110901003509.1176.51159.stgit@elm3c44.beaverton.ibm.com>
If someone is debugging a badly damaged filesystem, it might be useful to
disable the checksum verifications that will otherwise prevent the filesystem
from loading.
