 Hi all,

 Currently, I have a big problem: e2fsck refuses to fix my currupted
 filesystem...
 

 The things that I would suggest first of all is upgrading to the
 latest version of e2fsprogs.  If that doesn't fix it, I'm going to
 need either a compressed e2image file (see the e2image man page) or
 login access to see what is up.
Thanks for the suggestion, I was naively assuming that e2fsck wasn't
under active development. I've installed the statically linked 1.40.6
from Debian Lenny and it's running. However, it will take quite a long
time before it will actually hit the point where the old version found
problems.
I'll let you know what the results are!

Unfortunately it didn't work out. Apart from the e2fsck version number,
the output did not change:

In a few hours I will hit the road towards France for a holiday, from
which I will return on the 3rd of March. I would be _really_ grateful if
you could assist me solving this problem.

Providing the compressed e2image would let ted or others look into the
problem.

Should that be a raw image or a 'normal' one?

Raw, I think; that way you can compress it as well.

I'm working on it, but it seems that the image creation process is going
to take a long time... If it will make it before my departure, I will
publish it somewhere and post the link here. If it takes too long, I will
publish it in about a week and a half.

Thanks for your support!

Yeah, it could be quite big, given that you have a 3TB filesystem.  That's
why I suggested the or given me login access to the system, although
understand there could be all sorts of privacy and security issues
involved with that request.

The dump is not ready yet...

Whatever we will do, it will have to wait for a week and a half. For now I
really appreciate all the help.

Ok, when you get back, I should also have a patch for you that will
allow the XXX should never happen message to display more
information, so if the dump is too big for us to move over the
network, I'll have another way of doing some remote debugging.
