The problem arose when we tried to access it as well. When doing an ls in their directory the one file returns the following: ls -l 1104761413.M777698P25745V0400FF01I0239B49E_0.rmail4.enter.net\,S\=6806 ls: 1104761413.M777698P25745V0400FF01I0239B49E_0.rmail4.enter.net,S=6806: Bad file descriptor So our logical approach was to reboot the machine in the middle of the night and fsck it. However, that returned the following results and will not continue: unexpected soft update inconsitency cannot fix, first entry in dir contains . filename inumber -1012078592 out of range. missing '.' I=31407659 My thoughts are to delete the inode that is out of range, and re-fsck it one night. Is my thinking logical or does this filesystem need to be completely redone.
