The extended features of icheck (superblock repair and miscellaneous
consistency checks) are no longer necessary, since they were
incorporated into fsck.  However, I have written a utility called "bf"
that will perform the above-described icheck function---find the
inodes that "own" specified blocks.  Bf has been tested on a 3b1
(SVR2) only, and probably makes assumptions about the filesystem
structure.  Bf was just posted to unix-pc.sources, and e-mail copies
(it's short) are available upon request.
