hi All,
A fault on our SAN dropped us down to a read-only filesystem and after reboot, we have an "Unexpected Inconsistency" and I am being instructed by the boot to run fsck manually without -a or -p (this was after I think processing around 15% of the filesystem)
The specific message is "inode 27344909 has illegal blocks"
I recall running fsck some years ago on smaller and simpler systems - am broadly familiar with what it is but have no expertise in using it to repair a filesystem.
Would be grateful for advice on whats the quickest / usual way to get us back up from this. We do have a good backup for restoring unrecoverable files - i.e. I assume I am going to end up asking fsck to repair the filesystem itself and then clean up any mess that results.
This is fsck 1.39 , Linux version 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 , Red Hat 4.1.2-42
thanks for any tips.
Cheers
