Hi Guys and Gals, I have two HDs: 1 for / and /home and another for my data collection (music, funnies, pix etc.). I did somethig stupid and hang my machine - so I had to ¨turn it off uncleanly¨... When I try to run fsck.ext3 on it I get this: <-- snip --> i_file_acl for inode 16416 (...) is 465902557, should be zero. Clear<y>? yes Inode 16416 (...) has a bad mode (0163644). Clear<y>? yes i_file_acl for inode 16417 (...) is 3952012214, should be zero. Clear<y>? yes i_faddr for inode 16417 (...) is 3931302522, should be zero. Clear<y>? yes i_frag for inode 16417 (...) is 213, should be zero. Clear<y>? yes i_fsize for inode 16417 (...) is 233, should be zero. Clear<y>? yes Segmentation fault <-- end --> I had to answer yes to each question because it claimes I cannot run it with -a or -p options. I know some of the data is fixed - but I cannot mount it. Here is the mke2fs output for this device: [root@pinguino ~]# mke2fs -n /dev/hdd mke2fs 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 3670016 inodes, 7329168 blocks 366458 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=8388608 224 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000 Anything I can do? Please Help!!! All my stuff is on that device... Thanks -- :====================================================:.
