>Description:

	The man page for fsck states:
	    'The format of a filesystem can be determined from the
	     first line of output from dumpfs(8)'.

	Two points - the first (trivial) is it appears to be the second line 
	not the first line of the output, and the other is that for a
	sunos filesystem I get  "cylgrp  dynamic inodes  4.2/4.3BSD"
	and for a level 3 I get "cylgrp  dynamic inodes  4.4BSD".
	Nowhere is it documented what level 0, 1, 2, and 3 relate to
	in this output.
	I think there should be a simple number in the output of dumpfs
	that corresponds to the arguments given to 'fsck -c', otherwise
	the only way I have of really knowing the level of a filesystem
	is to 'fsck -c' it and abort!
>How-To-Repeat:
	Have some filesystems you do not know the level of, then try to work
	out the level.
