Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear, but journal has data Recovery flag not set in backup superblock, so running journal anyway /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root: recovering journal and then alot of things i fix... free blocks count wrong, directories count wrong, free inodes count wrong. but after fixing i am able to mount the filesystem and boot the system normally. *sigh of relief* i'm pleased the FS was able to be repaired but what caused it still irks me.... _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
