the fsck man page says
" -y     For  some filesystem-specific checkers, the -y option will cause
              the fs-specific fsck to  always  attempt  to  fix  any  detected
              filesystem corruption automatically.  Sometimes an expert may be
              able to do better driving the fsck manually.  Note that not  all
              filesystem-specific checkers implement this option.  In particuā€
              lar fsck.minix(8) and fsck.cramfs(8) does  not  support  the  -y
              option as of this writing."

that makes the benifit of manual checking seem pretty small. maybe the
-y option could be add by default.

Could a 'these files may have been damaged' list be given to the user at
next log in?
