Thanks for the reply guys...

The device in question is a ReadyNAS Pro 6, which happens to be running Linux :) I actually saw some issues with e2fsck 1.42.3 earlier this year:

***** File system check forced at Fri Apr 26 20:08:38 WEST 2013 ***** fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) e2fsck 1.42.3 (14-May-2012) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 4195619, i_blocks is 3135728, should be 3135904. Fix? yes

These are the same blocks slated as multiply claimed 

And then running an FSCK, we got the following:

***** File system check forced at Wed May 8 15:16:50 WEST 2013 ***** fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010 e2fsck 1.42.3 (14-May-2012

/dev/c/c: 616825/30212096 files (13.6% non-contiguous, 62748564/483393536 blocks

Then later in the year I reloaded the server with the database open from several client machines

***** File system check forced at Tue Jul 23 21:02:13 WEST 2013 ***** fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 4195619, end of extent exceeds allowed value

Fix? yes

Free blocks count wrong (417470107, counted=417470112).
Fix? yes

Again related to the same file, which is only an MS Access DB open from several client machines over SMB when the server is rebooted. Moving forward I ensure all instances are closed when reloading but even so I am surprised that a clean reload causes corruption at the filesystem level.

Since ensuring the DB is closed before reload, I have seen no further issues like this.

Many Thanks

Hi Andreas,

If I remember correctly, this patch might can fix this problem [1].
