Subject: ext4 e2fsck error interpretation and howto fix? expecting 249045418
 actual extent phys 249045427 log 1 len 2
To: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org

Hello all,

I have an ext4 filesystem with e2fsck reporting many of the below
lines.  Neither e2fsck nor fsck fix the issue.
Repeated runs result in the same errors.

kernel version = linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64 / Debian Bookworm

Your help understanding the output and help fixing are very much appreciated.

Thank you,
