I have an ext4 filesystem that has a few errors like this: Sep 30 19:14:09 atlas kernel: EXT4-fs error (device md2): ext4_lookup:1448: inode #7913865: comm find: deleted inode referenced: 7912058 Sep 30 19:14:09 atlas kernel: EXT4-fs error (device md2): ext4_lookup:1448: inode #7913865: comm find: deleted inode referenced: 7912055 Yet, when I run e2fsck -fy on it, I have a clean run, no errors are found and/or fixed. Is this the expected behaviour? What am I supposed to do to get rid of errors like the above? The filesystem is on a md mirror device, the kernel is 3.17.0-rc7, e2progs 1.42.12-1 (Debian sid). Could md device somehow interfere? I ran md check yesterday, but there were no errors. BTW, this all started when I got ata2.00: failed command: FLUSH CACHE EXT error yesterday morning. I did several runs of e2fsck before the filesystem came up clean, yet errors like the above are popping constantly. Thanks for any info. [and please Cc:, I'm not subscribed] -- Zlatko
