Hello everyone,

I am having trouble with F2FS. Specifically, I believe metadata got corrupted when I resized it. I have a 512 GB drive. My F2FS partition was approximately located on 369-497 GB (128 GB size). Using GParted, I resized it to 0.5-497 GB. While the partition resizing went through successfully, filesystem resizing initially failed with "Mount unclean image to replay log". I have done that and retried resizing.

Afterwards, however, fsck started giving out a lot of errors, at one point it asked if I wished to restore lost data, which I agreed to. Logs specified a lot of my files (which I could tell by filenames) and mid-way through the process, it segfaulted. Now, when I run fsck, no files are asked to be restored, and it completes successfully. However, when I attempt to mount it, I get an error saying "Structure needs cleaning".

Could someone help me restore my metadata (at least, long enough to extract my files)? Thanks.
