Hi, I have a ext3 filesystem created inside a problematic seagate ST3500320AS drive. The drive will just shut itself down automatically whenever it hits any read error. Only way to wake it up it to cold power off / on the computer. Now, my ext3 fs is /dev/sde2 I can mount it without any error: mount /dev/sde2 /tmp then, I can 'cd' into /tmp to get a sub directory listing. let's says there's Hello World users public now when I do 'ls public', I get: EXT3-fs error (device sde2): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode: 26181633, block=26181634 ls: cannot access /tmp/public: Input/output error 'sde' will disappeared from the system, need power off / on can get it back. After cold boot, I know there's a subdirectory called "EL" inside "public", if I do a 'ls public/EL', I get: EXT3-fs error (device sde2): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode: 26181633, block=26181634 ls: cannot access /tmp/public/EL: Input/output error Is there any way I can get into subdirectory of "public" without the need of read inode block 26181633/26181634 ? Is it still possible to get a full subdirectory listing of "public" ?
