Hi, I am running 2.6.31-rc8+ and have ext4 corruption that will not go away. My root fs is ext4 on sdb3. I have moved the directory with corruption into lost+found and booted to a rescuse system (arch linux) and run fsck.ext4 on the filesystem, which then reports its clean... Booting back into my gentoo system and attempting to remove the xx directory from lost+found gives: [ 172.408799] EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #706801: invalid magic - magic 0, entries 0, max 0(0), depth 0(0) [ 172.429410] EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #706801: invalid magic - magic 0, entries 0, max 0(0), depth 0(0) [ 172.449920] EXT4-fs error (device sdb3): ext4_ext_check_inode: bad header/extent in inode #706801: invalid magic - magic 0, entries 0, max 0(0), depth 0(0) The above is repeatable. How can I _really_ clean this fs? What info is needed to help the process?
