Hello list, I'm in a bit of a loop trying to fix my ext4 filesystem; it always goes like this even after several passes. > root@...t:/home/luser# /root/latest/sbin/e2fsck -f /dev/vgdalr6/lv1 > e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012) > Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes > Pass 2: Checking directory structure > Entry 'A5 11-3' in /share/path/09/Brett/Pines/Flynt's Side Drive - Complete Archive Copy/SA Version Pines/Chris Pics 11-2-10 (268533857) has deleted/unused inode 15115. Clear<y>? yes > Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity > Pass 4: Checking reference counts > Pass 5: Checking group summary information > > /dev/vgdalr6/lv1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** > /dev/vgdalr6/lv1: 8993801/268697600 files (0.8% non-contiguous), 2152234742/4299161600 blocks > root@...t:/home/luser# Would anyone have any suggestions how to proceed? The cause of this is that I did an unsupported resize (a shrink) by commenting out one of resize2fs' checks...as described here: (note I'm not claiming this as "permission"; I knew it might not work) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/35375 resize2fs gave no indication of trouble but the check that followed didn't go perfectly. 6 or 7 directory entries needed to be cleared and I've restored ~10gb from backup, but otherwise this current issue with the directory 'A5 11-3' is the only symptom presenting. I have most of the e2fsck log that followed the resize in case that would be of use.
