That's where an fsck and a lost+found type directory should come into play. Maybe punt to user space, but still try to see what you can make sense of to try to salvage. If you are saying a single bit error in the wrong place can basically lop off a good chunk of a filesystem, then I'm going to say that's not an improvement in reliability. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
