I see. That makes sense.

Isn't that what the famous fscheck.sh in my easymint installation should
do ? But it still calls the e2fsck on my Sparemint ext2 partition if I
understand the content of the script correctly. Wouldn't it be better if
fscheck.sh would call a e2fsck.ttp that is copied to another (TOS)
partition than the (ext2) partition it is currently checking?
