The first were some sort of block error with lots of block numbers in () which I responded 'y' to fix. Then there were a number of files with multiply-claimed blocks which I responded 'y' to clone. There were files containing unallocated or deleted inodes. A number of files were recovered to Lost+Found. A number of inode reference counts were wrong.
