You should run: e2fsprogs-1.42.13/build/e2fsck/e2fsck -fy /dev/sda3 That said, if you are having problems with the e2fsck, could you run it under gdb to see where it is failing? Signal 9 is SIGKILL which means that the process was killed by some external signal? > Regards, > Alexander > > On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 8:53 PM, Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> wrote: >> If dumpe2fs is hanging as well, it's likely that the problem may be at >> the hardware level.
