In the first pass, it complained about the root inode being corrupted; that's fine, that was probably from the initial hardware corruption. The second time you ran e2fsck, it didn't complain about anything until pass #5, so apparently the root inode was OK the second time around. But when you run e2fsck with -n, it opens the device read-only, so theres no way the filesystem could have changed. If you didn't run any other commands or do anything else between the two runs of e2fsck, then you have some serious hardware problem where the disk is not returning the same data between the first and second e2fsck run. And if you have wierd hardware problems, either with the hard drive or how the hard drive is connected to the OS, there's really nothing e2fsck can do to help you..... - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
