Having just created and filled a 64bit file system, I ran e2fsck on it, and keep getting this message printed shortly after "Pass 1" is printed. It doesn't seem to cause any obvious bad things. Is it dangerous? Adding some debugging prints to e2fsck, I discovered the error occurs with inode 7 (the reside inode) at line 869 of e2fsck/pass1.c. Also, the first fsck ever on the newly filled filesystem (which was run with -D) produced a 1-block error: Pass 5: Checking group summary information Block bitmap differences: -1719140557 Fix<y>? yes Free blocks count wrong for group #52464 (32344, counted=32345). Fix<y>? yes Free blocks count wrong (227072527, counted=227072528).
