Situation: External 500GB drive holds lots of snapshots using lots of
hard links made by rsync --link-dest. The controller went bad and
destroyed superblock and directory structures. The drive contains
roughly a million files and four complete directory-tree-snapshots with
each roughly a million hardlinks.
Tried
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Benutze EXT2FS Library version 1.41.12, 17-May-2010
e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
Benutze EXT2FS Library version 1.41.11, 14-Mar-2010
Symptoms: fsck.ext4 -y -f takes nearly a month to fix the structures on
a P4@2,8Ghz, with very little access to the drive and 100% cpu use.
output of fsck looks much like this:
File ??? (Inode #123456, modify time Wed Jul 22 16:20:23 2009)
block Nr. 6144 double block(s), used with four file(s):
<filesystem metadata>
??? (Inode #123457, mod time Wed Jul 22 16:20:23 2009)
??? (Inode #123458, mod time Wed Jul 22 16:20:23 2009)
...
multiply claimed block map? Yes
Is there an adhoc method of getting my data back faster?
Is the slow performance with lots of hard links a known issue?
