No. The normal rules--the ones that I describe as "bug free" keep things such that fsck can repair them. Breaking those rules--thus, what I mean by a "bug"--produces possible forms of corruption that cannot be automatically fixed by fsck. > It would be a lot nicer if glibc would compile a lot faster and have > some filesystem corruption *if* there would be a crash.
