This is one of those cases where more information isn't actually providing
you with useful data. We should print out errors and warnings, but if
everything is working as it should, then nobody should care, and it should
remain silent.

If you do care, then the right solution is to implement some notification
mechanism that can be added or is optional, and disabled by default.

I'd rather spend my time figuring out how to get fsck issues all the way to
admin users instead... That seems much more useful.

Cheers,

Auke
