Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:09:20 -0800 From: Hari Subramanian <hari@...are.com> To: "linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org" <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Subject: e2fsprogs/ext4 version compatibility Hi, I'm running a SLES11 SP1 GA based kernel (2.6.32.23) with ext4 filesystem. The e2fsprogs package that's installed on the box is version 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009). I was wondering if there was a version in compatibility between the filesystem implementation and the tools package, esp. since there have been 5 revisions of the package since 1.41.9 The reason I'm asking the question is my machine recently rebooted after a crash but fsck failed with an error code of 4 and the following message: "Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found" "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY" There were no files being created or deleted at the time of the crash although IOs were probably inflight. So, the inodes being a part of orphaned link list doesn't make sense to me. I don't claim deep knowledge in filesystem internals either. Before I go suspecting a corrupted filesystem, I wanted to make sure I was running the right version of fsck. Thanks in advance for your help! ~ Hari P.S. I wasn't sure if this is the right forum to post this question but I couldn't find a e2fsprogs mailing list and linux-ext4 seemed like a good alternative. Sorry, if this is the wrong forum. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
