CLEARED. > Error storing directory block information (inode=14109880, block=0, > num=471166008): Memory allocation failed Sorry, this is a bug in e2fsck; we should handle this kind of corrupted inode better. The quick workaround is this: debugfs -w -R "clri <14109880>" /dev/vg/root This will zap the contents of the offending inode, since it's been overwritten with garbage; unfortunately, it was garbage which was causing e2fsck to try to allocate too much memory, and then fail. - 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
