I will bring it to that list if you do not wish to. I am not a file system guy. Heck, I am not much of a kernel guy and what debugging I have done involved Alan Cox about a decade ago. This is an upgrade from ext3. I followed the instructions and did it before the actual upgrade to rawhide (from f8). I then booted into rescue mode from the disk to do some moving of home to another disk then back to get the files "extented," so to speak, and then did yum upgrade. I believe it unmounted cleanly on alt-ctrl-del. It showed up on the next mount. It has done it over 2 or three mounts now. The data can be accessed at http://vichu.innernet.org/ext4debug.tar.bz2 So, how do I fix it up?
