I tested it just a little, when I rebooted from a maint disk the
filesystem wouldn't mount because it was mangled (so I couldn't release
space), and wouldn't e2fsck because it was full (I got some superblock
error message about the filesystem having more data than physical
filespace).
Nothing I couldn't fix with a low level format, repartition, and
install ;-)
