64-bit inodes and back again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I enabled 64-bit inodes on a 2.6.35.14 kernel system. I ran into some software that did not handle this well, so I wanted to go back to 32-bit inodes. When I booted into the system again, any files that were created while in 64-bit inode mode are inaccessable and are shown to me like this:

$ ls -l /var/lib/mock/
ls: cannot access /var/lib/mock/dist-5E-build-373-1401: Invalid argument
??????????? ? ?    ?     ?            ? dist-5E-build-373-1401

I was led[1] to believe that this would not cause problems, but it has.

I have run xfs_repair on the file system but the old files still remain.

Are there any other things I can do to fix this? One thought is to remount with 64-bit inodes and erase or copy the offending files, but is that my only option?
