HELP: EXT2-fs error
Hi all...
I'm running a full Potato system (2.2.9 kernel). Tonight, for the first
time, I got an error I've never seen before in the 4 years I've been running
Linux full-time. I'm hoping this is bug in Potato and not something more
serious with my system.
The error popped up when Debian was doing it's nightly housekeeping
in /etc/cron.daily ...
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 1024
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 2048
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 3072
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 4096
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 5120
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 6144
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 7168
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,69)): ext2_readdir: directory #4148 contains a hole at offset 8192
3,69 is the /dev/hdb5 partition on my hard drive which is mounted on /usr. I
presumed the directory #4148 referred to an inode. So I did an
'ls -lRi |less' to see if I could figure out where the problem was. I tracked
it down to the directory /usr/share/texmf/omega/plain/config. I confirmed
it when I tried to 'ls' on the directory and got the same error as above.
Is this a bug in Potato TeX package or a problem with my system? How do I
fix it? Is it safe to rmdir that directory and recreate it?
TIA for the help.
