So your question of "inodes having a defined size" doesn't make much sense. An inode is a fixed size, usually 128 or 256 bytes. But the contents of the inode (file) is anything up to 16TB.... In general if we're looking at a potentially corrupted file system, the first thing you want to do is to look at it via the stat command and make sure it looks at least vaguely sane. You do this via the command "stat <2937950>". - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
