Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 00:21:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021206052132.GA3952@perseus.homeunix.net> (raw)
Before anyone asks, no my disk is not full:
pryzbyj@perseus:/usr/src/penguin$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3.7G 1.1G 2.5G 31% /
/dev/hda3 19G 349M 18G 2% /home
/dev/hda4 14G 1.5G 12G 12% /usr/src
Sizes shouldn't have changed by more than 01% since I got the error.
Interesting: rerunning `updatedb --localuser=nobody 2>/dev/null` fails to
reproduce the error.
Is the error possibly the result of filesystem corruption? I imagine that
each directory has a pointer to the disk location of each of its member
files; if that pointer were larger than the disk size, would this error
be the result?
If this is the result of filesystem corruption, it is not necessarily a
problem with ext3 or some othersuch, as I have done some *hard* shutdowns
recently (read: control-alt-backspace on a sis motherboard).
