I've been running it for about a night and a morning now, nothing bad
has happened, my ext2 filesystem shows up clean when forcing a fsck.
If things actually break badly, it is a very serious bug in the
underlying FS. The FS should not 'happen to work' just because the VFS
inadvertedly marked unmodified inodes as being dirty.
