I admit the warning in the man page wasn't scary enough to me and led me to believe it was less dangerous, and thus worth a try first. It also seems better to me to not allow fix-fixable to run in situations where it will not run properly (ie where a rebuild-tree is required) Ciao, - Gerrit "--fix-fixable This option recovers certain kinds of corruption that do not require rebuilding the entire file system tree (--rebuild-tree). Normally you only need this option if the --check option reports "corruption that can be fixed with --fix-fixable". This includes: zeroing invalid data-block pointers, correcting st_size and st_blocks for directories, and deleting invalid directory entries."
