When I try to stat() it, I get "Value too large for defined data type" or "Input/output error" when it is a symlink to those files. These were normal files (some readmes etc.) not accessed by any daemons or any applications at all. Midnight marks them with "?" at beginning and shows something about 3GB size. When I try to unlink() them, I get "Operation not permitted" even though I'm root. Kernel log shows these two kinds of errors: Apr 5 11:33:47 master kernel: init_special_inode: bogus imode (113315) and Apr 5 11:33:49 master kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Apr 5 11:33:49 master kernel: 09:01: rw=0, want=587173332, limit=38539776 When I try to e2fsck -nf (I tried only ro test on mounted partition) I get some of these: Illegal block #10 (2236192626) in inode 523442. IGNORED. and: Error while iterating over blocks in inode 523442: Illegal triply indirect block found Segmentation fault It confuses me a little bit and I don't know wheter I should try to do rw e2fsck on unmounted partition, especially when e2fsck segfaults. My system: Linux master 2.4.22 #1 Sat Sep 20 14:26:11 CEST 2003 i686 unknown e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Using EXT2FS Library version 1.27, 8-Mar-2002 The device is /dev/md1: [dev 9, 1] /dev/md1 889E3491.06B38BDD.B6F3803F.BCE40C0E online [dev 3, 7] /dev/hda7 889E3491.06B38BDD.B6F3803F.BCE40C0E good [dev 3, 71] /dev/hdb7 889E3491.06B38BDD.B6F3803F.BCE40C0E good smartctl shows no errors on those physical disks.
