Grr. Ok, so we do need it. Because Jens made it not work without it, and
didn't fix up the filesystems, just added a random comment saying "we
shouldn't need to".

Double-grr. I hate misleading comments. It makes the patch and the code
look like people knew what they were doing.

Jens - please help fix this up.
