Hi,
While running e2fsck over the partition which was ext4 mounted,
the e2fsck suggest fixing the Inode with the same i_size value
as the existing one.
The partition is of size 135GB, I created 13 files each of 10GB
using dd if=/dev/zero of=<filename> bs=1024 count=10485760 and
filesystem check on the partition prompts for following fixing
/usr/local/e2fsprogs/sbin/e2fsck -fnv /dev/sdb5
