I even checked if e.g. you had quotas enabled and the bogus UID/GID would result in the quota file becoming astronomically large or something, but the numbers don't seem to match. There are no blocks in the file, no xattr block ("File ACL" should be renamed...). > hermes:~# ls -l /srv/samba/local/apps/Gestalt.Net/SetupCD/program\ files/Business\ Objects/Common/3.5/bin/RptControllers.dll > prwS--x--t 1 868313917 2954683504 0 1902-05-13 03:23 /srv/samba/local/apps/Gestalt.Net/SetupCD/program files/Business Objects/Common/3.5/bin/RptControllers.dll > > I guess this is what Andreas meant by "turning a pile of manure into > neatly organized fertilizer" :) Yes, you should just delete the inodes reported corrupted in your earlier postings in the 87x range - they contain nothing of value anymore, and I suspect your troubles would be gone. At least we wouldn't be left wondering if you are seeing new corruption in the same range of blocks, or just leftover badness.
