Hi, Appreciate the help... As requested: despair:/c/PREMIER# lsattr "Premier Automation Purchase OrdersApp V18.5.mdb" -------------e- Premier Automation Purchase OrdersApp V18.5.mdb What does this mean??? The file is important as it is an Orders database and is backed up daily :) So far no actual issues experienced with using the file (MS Access DB) I can perhaps run that debugfs command but to be clear I assume there is no risk providing I unmount the FS beforehand? How big is the file generated likely to be, ball park? As for the other options of updating, I am somewhat bound by the FW versions the ReadyNAS units use, unless I start messing with it, which would likely void any warranty anyway.

Fix? yes This is because the inode shows 176 sectors = 22 filesystem blocks allocated than expected. Is this perhaps an extent format file? Try "lsattr {filename}" and look for "e" in the file flags. > Running additional passes to resolve blocks claimed by more than one inode... > Pass 1B: Rescanning for multiply-claimed blocks Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 4195619: 167904376 167904377 167904378 167904379 167904380 167904381 167904382 167904383 167904384 167904385 167904386 167949296 167949297 167949298 167949299 167949300 167949301 167949302 167949303 167949304 167949305 167949306 Pass 1C: Scanning directories for inodes with multiply-claimed blocks Pass 1D: Reconciling multiply-claimed blocks (There are 1 inodes containing multiply-claimed blocks.

This could be failing if the duplicate blocks are inside the same file? I don't know if that is something that e2fsck expects or not? I wonder if the extent tree is corrupted in some manner, but it isn't being detected during the duplicate block scan. This file looks big and important, so the first thing I would suggest is to make a backup copy of it ASAP if you haven't already (having a backup is always a good idea). Then, I'd suggest to update to the latest e2fsprogs 1.42.7 and try again, since there was a bug fixed in the e2fsck extent handling. If that doesn't fix it, please dump the allocated file blocks with "debugfs -c -R 'stat <4195619>' /dev/c/c" so we can see what it looks like (probably gzipped and as an attachment, since it will be pretty large).
