Did you *ever* run e2fsck in read/write mode (i.e., without the -n option) on this filesystem after when you think it had gotten corrupted? So what I will suggest at this point is that you do the following: debugfs -w /dev/sda1 debugfs: features dir_index filetype sparse_super debugfs: quit The run "e2fsck -nf /dev/sda1" and make the output looks relatively clean. You should *not* see any messages about needing to relocate inode tables. If so, you can then run "e2fsck -f /dev/sda1 to fully recover the filesysten. > I always seem to get the impossible out of Linux tools, but most times this > is during quality tests... however this was on "normal usage".

Well, absolutely no one else reporting this problem or anything like it... - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
