-/usr/bin/find
-       find doesn't work on CDROM's. You need to call find with the
-       "fstype isofs" argument to get it working. The bug seems to be 
-       in the "fts(3)" routines that find uses.
+fsck:
+       fsck can go into an endless loop in the repair/fsck cycle on
+       a corrupted filesystem. The message "VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK
+       DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE" is very misleading.
+       fsck compares the superblock with the alternate in the last
+       cylinder group? So if this block is corrupt, you have no chance
+       to get the filesystem repaired. You can answer on the question
+       "UPDATE STANDARD SUPERBLOCK" with yes and get always the same
+       error message on the next fsck.
