After a cursory glance, a couple of nits. Perhaps ErrorFlag should be
Eflag to be consistent with the style of the rest of the source? Also,
your error reporting in fsck_ffs is fs.state != 0 is less than obvious:
"superblock %d is not finished" Perhaps it could be "superblock %d is in
an inconsistent state, this is probably due to a premature exit of newfs"
or some such message.
