Has anyone run into a situation where you'd answer "no" to an fsck
question?  In what circumstances would you not answer "yes"?

I can't remember ever answering "no" to fsck: if you do, you'll still
have an unstable filesystem and won't be able to use it safely.  If you
answer "yes", the contents may be wrong, but the filesystem itself will
be stable and usable.

Thoughts?
