That seems like a crazy thing to want to do!
I agree. It *seems* so.
But did you actually a fsck on a central fileserver with a ext2fs size over 200GB? That *is* a crazy thing.
As pavel mentioned it is a quickhack - not for the regular kernel source. Something we'll have to do until we have a better filesystem - finally.
