Have you tried mounting it read-only (mount -oro /mntpt)? If you run fsck with the -f flag, it will try to throw away those inodes. (It should be printing them as unsigned, not signed.) You may be able to recover the rest of the file system. I would try recovering what you can through a read-only mount first. -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
