Hi, Somehow I've managed to get e2fsck to seg fault.. The filesystem in question started acting very strangely (e.g. filenames changing from music to MuSiC etc) so I rebooted, and since when fsck has crashed every time it has been run. I'm not really sure what any of this means, so I didn't know what debugging output to include, but below is the output of e2fsck. (I would have attached the results of dumpe2fs, but the mailing list complained). Thanks for any help; let me know any more information I can provide (I am running debian unstable with a new (2.6.11-ac) kernel (although it segfaulted on an older kernel too)) e2fsck output: e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) /dev/hde1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
