I have a strange error on a hard drive. It's a 1.5Tb disk. I have copies of the content, but restoring them spend approx one dy and I would like to understand what happen.
it's an usb disk (3.5"). It's seen like having one more sector on the file system than the real size:
mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem EXT4-fs (sdd1): bad geometry: block count 366284390 exceeds size of device (366284381 blocks)
I tried to reduce the size of the only partition with fdisk, no change.
fsck /dev/sdd1 fsck from util-linux 2.25.1 e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014) The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 366284390 blocks The physical size of the device is 366284381 blocks Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort<y>?
if I answer no, the check is done, but this do not change anything.
any fix?
Sounds like maybe a job for resize2fs. Fdisk only changes partition tables, not filesystem sizes. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
