Hi All, Recently whenvevr I try to access one file, I saw the following kernel log: "EXT4-fs error (device md0): ext4_ext_find_extent:400: inode #95223833: comm fio: bad header/extent: invalid magic - magic e2b6, entries 59156, max 58100(0), depth 43399(0)" inode 95223833 is just the file I want to read. I guess there may be some corruption in the file system. Therefore I umount it and run e2fsck command but get the following result: "ext2fs_check_desc: Corrupt group descriptor: bad block for block bitmap ./e2fsck: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... Corruption found in superblock. (reserved_gdt_blocks = 16384). The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> or e2fsck -b 32768 <device>" It seems that the superblock is bad, however I can still mount it and access to other files without error. The kernel version is 3.4.23. Is there anything I can do to recover the file? Any help is very appreciated. Thank a lot.
