Hi all, Currently, I have a big problem: e2fsck refuses to fix my currupted filesystem... The filesystem (about 3TB) is created on an LVM LV, which spans a number of RAID5 arrays, for which the underlying devices are imported using ATA over Ethernet. Because of some strange network failure, the filesystem got corrupted and was remounted read-only. e2fsck presented me really _a lot_ of errors, especially much duplicated blocks. After fixing them all, e2fsck restarts the check and after a while dies with "XXX should never happen!!!". The complete output: > e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) > Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes > Pass 2: Checking directory structure > Directory inode 268451937 has an unallocated block #1. Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451941 has an unallocated block #1. Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451945 has an unallocated block #1. Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451949 has an unallocated block #1. Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451953 has an unallocated block #1. Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451957 has an unallocated block #1. Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451961 has an unallocated block #1.

Allocate? yes > > Directory inode 268451981 has an unallocated block #4. Allocate? yes > > XXX should never happen!!! > Aborted > Furthermore I'm running the default Debian stable kernel 2.6.18. When trying to mount the damaged filesystem and removing the directories which were supposed to have problems (I saw some output about those directories in earlier e2fsck runs), the filesystem of course reports problems: > # dmesg | tail > kjournald starting. Commit interval 10 seconds > EXT3-fs warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended > EXT3 FS on loop0, internal journal > EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with writeback data mode. > EXT3-fs error (device loop0): ext3_free_inode: bit already cleared for > inode 275087393 > Remounting filesystem read-only > Can anyone please help me fix this filesystem? I will be on vacation next week, so my reply might be a little bit late... Thanks!
