801da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a
811da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  crash.  The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made
821da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system

941da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  file systems, use chattr ("man chattr").  You need to be using
