On that note, I must add the anecdote that I recall seeing the periodic
fsck come up with "Deleted inode with zero dtime" on filesystems that
otherwise should have been fine -- with Linux >= 2.0.33 (_perhaps_ >=
2.0.27, but I can't swear to it.) I don't have any logs of this, and I
assumed it was something of little importance.
