    JFS: Improved error handing · 6349fc5a
    Dave Kleikamp authored
    This patch replaces many assert statements, which caused a BUG(), with
    improved code to mark the superblock dirty and then proceed as specified by
    the errors= mount flag (as ext2 and ext3 do).  JFS's default for the errors
    option is "remount-ro" in order to prevent addition data corruption when a
    problem is found.
    
    These asserts are usually triggered by on-disk data corruption.  By marking
    the superblock dirty, fsck will perform a complete check on the file system
    and correct the problems, rather than simply replaying the journal, inviting
    later trouble.
