when you manually run e2fsck, use -p to tell it to just go and clean it up
and once a year or so, it will clean up your inodes on the disks
with what it think it should be in its bad funky memory, destroying
the disk
-- its a bad idea NOT to see what e2fscsk is cleaning up
and you should NOT see too many of those fixes
-- if you see more than say 10 fixes or hundreds/thousands of sequential
inode fixes, its too late, you've just screwed up your disk ...
a case there re-install from cdrom is merited
because you dont know that backups has the correct files
in its backups either
-- running ext3 on top of a bad ext2 wont help you
