In the course of trying to get X to work on my ASUS 1005HA netbook, |
| 2 |
I had to power the machine off several times. In the course of this, |
| 3 |
some damage seems to have occurred to the file system. |
| 4 |
There are files in /var /tmp which I can't remove: |
| 5 |
the msg is "EXT2-fs error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 16388". |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I got round the problem by creating new dirs, copying everything else |
| 8 |
& renaming the dirs, but that leaves me with /bad1 , which I can't remove |
| 9 |
as it contains a reference to an inode which no longer exists. |
| 10 |
NB this is not the more common problem of a bad file name, |
| 11 |
which cb dealt with simply by removing the inode (which still exists). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Can anyone help ? |

BTW is Ext2 the best fs for this machine ? Might Ext3 or Ext4 be better ? |
