the dump fiels in fstab specifies at which dump levels the dump tool makes
backups of this filesystem. You could get around this by modifying dump, and
get this information from some other configuration file ... but I don't see
the advantage of that.

GEMDOS does not tell me what physical drive a partition is on. Maybe XHDI
can help here?

Running two parallel fscks on the same drive is a very bad idea
(performance-wise).
