Hello all, I recently ran over following issue ( the description is out of necessity bit lengthy): I have corrupted partition with ext3 filesystem oni t, fortunately enough partition was mirrored, so that I was able to dd the the mirroed partiton to the file like this: dd bs=512 if=/dev/<where_the_mirrored_partition_is> of=some_file and write the content to the primary partition like this: dd bs=512 if=some_file of=/dev/<where_the_primary_is>. The most crucial thing is block size choosen -- 512 bytes. Both operations went fine. Now to the trouble: I was able to create normal files of whatever size on the recreated primary partition but I was not able to create any directories I got "no space left on device" with disk/inode usage around 1%. Both primary and mirrored were formated with block size 4096 and, indeed, when I rexecuted dd command everything worked fine. I would consider this as a bug and would be glad to hear about your opinions.
