Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG "fsck -n -b 32 /mnt2/dev/wd0e" got me zillions of errors paraphrased it goes like: EXCESSIVE BAD BLKS I=32 INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=32 (720 should be 324) INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT for I=333, 348, 350, 352, 358, 362, 365, 372, 373, 374, 375 PARTIALLY TRUNCATED INODE I=449 INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT for I=449, 467 PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I=536, 537, 541, 546, 552, 560, 561, 562 UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=563, 564, 565 PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I=571, 640, 648 UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=649 PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I=650 - 654 UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=655 PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I=656, 657 ... INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=713 PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE I=2688 more of the same, including some massively incorrect block counts: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=2714 (778139497 should be 0) [etc] ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames DUPS/BAD IN ROOT INODE REALLOCATE? [yn] extensive mixture of the below error types: ZERO LENGTH DIRECTORY BAD TYPE VALUE DUP/BAD BAD INODE NUMBER UNALLOCATED DIRECTORY CORRUPTED MISSING DIRECTORY ?: CONTAINS EMPTY BLOCKS DIR=? FILE=?/.. ? IS AN EXTRANEOUS HARD LINK TO A DIRECTORY ? [dunno if it changes from there I gave up on pressing n after the first couple of hundred] It seems to be much the same for wd0a, wd0b etc what are my chances if I use -y fsck -y -b 32 /mnt2/dev/wd0a Is there any way I can recover any of the files? is there a tool which can let me look through what's still there?
