I have noticed that occasionally preen when run under SunOS 4.0 will exit
in such a way that it causes a reboot and re-check when it is not
necessary.  I am using a version of preen which uses Sun's new fstab
reading routines.

Also, can anyone tell me why the /etc/rc.boot distributed by sun tests for
a return code of 0 or 2 instead of just 0 in the case statement after
checking the disks?  Fsck is not documented as returning a 2.  What does
it mean?

Has anyone modifed the SunOS fsck with any of the performance changes
discussed at USENIX or distributed earlier?

Cheers,
