Severity: normal
File: /sbin/fsck.ext2

Hi,

It can be a bug or not, or a wishlist, but this issue is pretty
important since it is dangerous.

Please if you do fsck.ext2 /dev/X of a ext3 instead of ext2. 


/dev/sdb1: UUID="XXX" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" 
root@debian07:~# date

It might be checked or mentioned that the dev is not correct.

You could add me a switch that might be useful for me and others. We all
get old, and can be sometimes making mistake. You'll see in some years
if you do not yet ;) 

Like an option --protect or --userinput, to prompt a read / inputchar
y/n that we are sure of given op. 

An addional option might be the wisest one,  + also since fsck is
locked, linux must evolve  (as sh locked from changes and large
improvements). 

Sincerely,
Pat
