Any chance you can try copying the file system image to another external usb drive, run e2fsck on the copied file system image, and then try using the copied file systme image on the new usb drive? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
