Hi all,
I've come across a weird issue. The other day I decided that it's been
a while since I've had a good read/write badblocks run through fsck.ext3
on all my partitions.
The problem is with /dev/hdb1 , normally mounted on my Gentoo system as
/olddeb since it's a small install of Debian that I keep as a backup.
Robotech / # fsck.ext3 -fccv -C 0 /dev/hdb1
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
ext2fs_block_iterate: Ext2 file too big while sanity checking the bad
blocks inode
Robotech / #
I get the same thing with one -c as well. The partition is unmounted. If
I run it without any bad block check I get:
Robotech / # fsck.ext3 -fv -C 0 /dev/hdb1
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)

"badblocks -nvs /dev/hdb1" seems to run fine, but I am worried about the
"ext2fs_block_iterate: Ext2 file too big while sanity checking the bad
blocks inode" message. Any hits I've found about this has other errors
occurring as well, usually "DriveReady SeekComplete" errors. As a
result, I'm only seeing responses about the other (more serious) errors,
no explanation of this specific message. This is the only partition I'm
seeing this on, no other error messages at all. Hdb 2,3, and 4 are fine
(all ext3).
I remounted /dev/hdb1:
The largest file on it is 71 megabytes. After moving it to another
partition, df -h shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1 3.7G 2.4G 1.2G 67% /olddeb
Unmounted and tried again, still getting same message.
Any help is appreciated,
Paul NM
