I've got an FS at $WORK that's giving a whole lot of fsck errors. It starts like so: fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) archive contains a file system with errors, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Running additional passes to resolve blocks claimed by more than one inode... Pass 1B: Rescanning for multiply-claimed blocks Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 163841: 101019648 Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 163842: 101019649 101019650 101019651 101019652 101019653 101019654 101019655 Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 163843: 101019656 101019657 101019658 101019659 101019660 101019661 101019662 101019663 101019664 101019665 101019666 101019667 101019668 101019669 101019670 101019671 101019672 101019673 101019674 101019675 101019676 101019677 101019678 101019679 101019680 101019681 101019682 101019683 101019684 101019685 101019686 101019687 101019688 101019689 101019690 101019691 101019692 101019693 101019694 101019695 101019696 101019697 101019698 101019699 101019700 101019701 101019702 101019703 101019704 101019705 101019706 101019707 101019708 101019709 101019710 101019711 101019712 101019713 101019714 101019715 101019716 101019717 101019718 101019719 101019720 101019721 101019722 101019723 101019724 101019725 101019726 101019727 101019728 101019729 101019730 101019731 101019732 101019733 101019734 101019735 101019736 101019737 101019738 101019739 101019740 101019741 101019742 101019743 101019744 101019745 101019746 [snip] After a while of this, I get the following error: e2fsck: Can't allocate block element e2fsck: aborted Google says the error relates to process memory size required for large FSs. The FS here is a 1TB FS, created before I started using largefile and largefile4 for large FSs. When I mount it, some data seems to be lost. Anything I can do other than recover from backup? - Morty _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
