e2fsck repeatedly asks to clear the same entry?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello list,

I'm in a bit of a loop trying to fix my ext4 filesystem; it always goes like this even after several passes.

root@host:/home/luser# /root/latest/sbin/e2fsck -f /dev/vgdalr6/lv1
e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Entry 'A5 11-3' in /share/path/09/Brett/Pines/Flynt's Side Drive - Complete Archive Copy/SA Version Pines/Chris Pics 11-2-10 (268533857) has deleted/unused inode 15115.  Clear<y>? yes
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information

/dev/vgdalr6/lv1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/vgdalr6/lv1: 8993801/268697600 files (0.8% non-contiguous), 2152234742/4299161600 blocks
root@host:/home/luser#


Would anyone have any suggestions how to proceed?

The cause of this is that I did an unsupported resize (a shrink) by commenting out one of resize2fs' checks...as described here: (note I'm not claiming this as "permission"; I knew it might not work)

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/35375

resize2fs gave no indication of trouble but the check that followed didn't go perfectly. 6 or 7 directory entries needed to be cleared and I've restored ~10gb from backup, but otherwise this current issue with the directory 'A5 11-3' is the only symptom presenting. I have most of the e2fsck log that followed the resize in case that would be of use.

Thank you,
Mark
