Subject: RE: 2nd Attempt - FSCK Errors

Hi,

To further add, I ran the debugfs on the backup server but the output was
strange:

chaos:~# ls -i  /c/PREMIER
11141250 Premier Automation Purchase OrdersApp V18.5_Backup.mdb
11141790 Premier Automation Purchase OrdersApp V18.5.ldb

I suspect there may be another issue here with this tool on the ReadyNAS
devices.

Hi,

Appreciate the help...

As requested:

despair:/c/PREMIER# lsattr "Premier Automation Purchase OrdersApp V18.5.mdb"
-------------e- Premier Automation Purchase OrdersApp V18.5.mdb

What does this mean???

The file is important as it is an Orders database and is backed up daily :)
So far no actual issues experienced with using the file (MS Access DB)

I can perhaps run that debugfs command but to be clear I assume there is no
risk providing I unmount the FS beforehand? How big is the file generated
likely to be, ball park? 

As for the other options of updating, I am somewhat bound by the FW versions
the ReadyNAS units use, unless I start messing with it, which would likely
void any warranty anyway.

Many Thanks
Stephen Elliott

This is because the inode shows 176 sectors = 22 filesystem blocks allocated
than expected. Is this perhaps an extent format file? Try "lsattr
{filename}" and look for "e" in the file flags.

This is consistent with the one inode suddenly growing 22 blocks longer.

This could be failing if the duplicate blocks are inside the same file?
I don't know if that is something that e2fsck expects or not?  I wonder if
the extent tree is corrupted in some manner, but it isn't being detected
during the duplicate block scan.

This file looks big and important, so the first thing I would suggest is to
make a backup copy of it ASAP if you haven't already (having a backup is
always a good idea). Then, I'd suggest to update to the latest e2fsprogs
1.42.7 and try again, since there was a bug fixed in the e2fsck extent
handling.

If that doesn't fix it, please dump the allocated file blocks with "debugfs
-c -R 'stat <4195619>' /dev/c/c" so we can see what it looks like (probably
gzipped and as an attachment, since it will be pretty large).

Cheers, Andreas=
