No, I'm talking about real software failures in the filesystem. XFS, for
instance:
nimrodel:~ # xfs_repair /dev/hdd8
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
...
disconnected dir inode 46144142, moving to lost+found
disconnected inode 46170775, moving to lost+found
corrupt inode 46170775 (btree). This is a bug.
Please report it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cache_node_purge: refcount was 1, not zero (node=0x82e8af8)
fatal error -- 117 - couldn't iget disconnected inode
nimrodel:~ #
It's on bugzilla. No response. :-(
