The thing is that our code at present assumes fsck has fixed the file=20
system, and it blindly moves forward. And so it panics if it gets to bad=20
places. If '-f' isn't root-only, then a user can make an unclean file=20
system, mount it, and panic the box.

If a user wants to mount a dirty file system, I think having to contact=20
the administrator is a fine thing to do.

Take care,
