Hello,


I'm currently experiencing a problem concerning Samba 2.2.3a which is 
running on RedHat 7.3 kernel 2.4.18 configured with ACLS.
While trying to upgrade the kernel to support LFS 2GB files, a reboot was performed 
after the successful recompilation and installation of new filesystem tools.  The 
system halted at mounting the /samba partition reporting errors on the filesystem.
The problem is e2fsck was run on ext3 partition while upgrading ACLs/EAs, and now it 
seems the inodes holding the ext_attr info inodes were cleared and have now screwed up 
the base dirs on the samba partition.
When typing 'ls' under the Samba dir the following error messages appear:

ls: .Bad Address
ls: homes: Bad Address
etc.

The problem is not letting us rm, rmdir, mv, etc.. these dirs as well as 
/homes/username dirs.

Our current work around for creating new users is to create an alternate /home dir 
which is /samba/home instead of /samba/homes.
Other than that, the users have not reported any problems.

If anybody has any ideas or input it would be greatly appreciated.
We are stuck in a bit of a pickle.  We don't know exactly how this occurred and if it 
will get any worse.

If this is unclear, please let me know.

Regards,
