This message will get reset if you use the e2fsck from e2fsprogs 1.41.13 or later. I recommend using e2fsprogs 1.41.14. You can translate the "initial error" and "last error" time stamps in the kernel messages here: kernel: EXT4-fs (sda10): error count: 5 kernel: EXT4-fs (sda10): initial error at 1301325048: htree_dirblock_to_tree:586: inode 260099: block 1056737 kernel: EXT4-fs (sda10): last error at 1301325083: htree_dirblock_to_tree:586: inode 260099: block 1056737 via the date command: % date --date=@1301325048 Mon Mar 28 11:10:48 EDT 2011 % date --date=@1301325083 Mon Mar 28 11:11:23 EDT 2011 (We use seconds since the epoch because we don't want to put time zone conversion routines in the kernel.) In any case, it's not a big deal, and you can fix this easily by upgrading to a newer version of e2fsprogs. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
