Hi, I hope it's the right mailing list. I was shrinking my ext4 partition with resize2fs when the electricity went off. Then I launched an fsck against my partition which is at /dev/mapper/something because it's an opened LUKS partition. The partition is a bit less than 500GB in size because it's a 500GB hdd. Now the problem is that it's checking the filesystem since more than 433 hours according to htop. since I've forgetten to add -y in the fsck command I've something mechanical that keep pressing y on the keyboard all the time. here's what fsck says at the time of writing the email: File ... (inode #129283, mod time Tue Sep 25 21:09:35 2012) has 3 multiply-claimed block(s), shared with 1 file(s): /home/gnutoo/networking/SDR/uhd.20121031204636/host/build/docs/doxygen/???/structuhd_1_1not__implemented__error.html (inode #14946569, mod time Tue Sep 25 21:09:35 2012) Clone multiply-claimed blocks<y>? yes 1) Can I stop the fsck and continue it later? 2) I've no idea how much inodes there are in the filesystem but I fear that it it's only at the beginning of it and will last forever. 3) If I stop, and mount it, maybe I'll be able to copy the data? e2fsprogs are at version 1.41.14-1ubuntu3.
