How close to 1-1 does "-n" relate to non-"-n" ?
For example, does e2fsck take into consideration the changes it would have done itself in regular mode when it proceeds to the next problem and/or phase of a -n operation?
If it doesn't, then that command is, well, totally useless.
So :-). Does it take that into consideration?
