Description Mr. White 2002-11-22 05:01:18 UTC
After an ungraceful shutdown, the system booted complaining about lots of 
missing files throughout all of the filesystem. I fsck'ed several times, 
without any error discovered, but the system kept complaining of missing files 
(they appeared in the directory listing, but seemingly there was no inode 
associated).

Most weird of all is that if I boot off the CD, I cannot fsck the partition (it 
complains about ext3 features present in the fs, and not supported by the 
checker), BUT I can mount it, and no file is missing, and no complain 
whatsoever...

I really have no clue, I've tried to recompile the kernel twice, but it keeps 
complaining about the same files.

I tried out acpi-sources, and everything went fine, so it is clearly a
gentoo-sources issue, i think. It seems that nothing is corrupted, weirder.

I had the same problem.

But mounting the partition as ext2, it seems fine.
Comment 3 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-26 13:35:03 UTC
were you using ext3-htree (-o index) ?
Comment 4 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-09 15:22:00 UTC
I'm working on getting a new release of gentoo-sources out, please do some
testing on the latest lolo-sources and let me know how it goes.
