(sort-of xposted from linux-kernel) Hi, I am wondering how to interpret this error message, which popped up on a 2.4.26 SMP x86 box two days ago: EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck init_special_inode: bogus imode (37316) EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck init_special_inode: bogus imode (37316) EXT2-fs: corrupt root inode, run e2fsck The problem is, the error message doesn't indicate *which* filesystem we are talking about, and I have three mounted: 1 ext2 and 2 ext3. The ext2 is on a plain old pata disk and the two ext3 filesystems are on software raid5 sata volumes. I'm pretty much afraid to reboot the machine at this point, I have no idea which FS I'm about to lose. Any hints appreciated. -jwb _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
