Hi! Finally e2image finished successfully. But the produced file is way too big for a mail. Any other possibility? (e2image does dump everything except file data and free space. But the problem seems to be just in the bitmap and/or journal.) Actually, when I look at the code around e2fsck/recovery.c:594 The error is detected and continue is called. But tagp/tag is never changed, but the checksum is always compared to the one from tag. Intended?
