Re: 2nd Attempt - FSCK Errors

What you've shown us makes me suspicious about whether the hardware
device is sane or not.  In the previous e2fsck run, it set i_size to a
non-zero value.  Yet when debugfs tries to read the same inode, it's
now seeing all zero's.

So that implies the disk (or software raid device; you haven't been
clear what the underlying storage is for this file system) is not
returning the same information for a particular block as was
previously written.

If the underlying block device is not stable, there really is nothing
for e2fsck to do.  You might want to check /var/log/messages for any
error messages relating to the underlying storage device(s).  If
you're seeing I/O errors in the log files, that would be another hint.

At this point, my recommendation to you is to find a separate disk (or
RAID array if necessary) which is as big as the underlying disk, and
do an image copy (via dd or ddrescue) to a known-good storage device,
and then retry the e2fsck on this copy of the file system.
