.................

This means bunch of inodes in certain sectors nearby were somehow
corrupted. These are often found only when those inodes are read the
next time after corruption, thus doesn't necessary affect booting
unless those inodes are read on booting.

Onboot recovery really has nothing to do with random broken sectors
where undo fifo is not involved, nor is it a problem of filesystems in
general including hammer1. Also note that "recovery" here doesn't mean
hammer1 somehow magically fixes user data. It means the filesystem
keeps consistency of itself.

Having said that, hammer1 could give an option for users to at least
do whatever they want to do on a broken fs. It currently forces
readonly mount, kernel panic, etc.
