[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH v2 4/4] ocfs2: check/fix inode block for online file check

[Junxiao Bi]

Hi Gang,

This is not like a right patch.
First, online file check only checks inode's block number, valid flag,
fs generation value, and meta ecc. I never see a real corruption
happened only on this field, if these fields are corrupted, that means
something bad may happen on other place. So fix this field may not help
and even cause corruption more hard.
Second, the repair way is wrong. In
ocfs2_filecheck_repair_inode_block(), if these fields in disk don't
match the ones in memory, the ones in memory are used to update the disk
fields. The question is how do you know these field in memory are
right(they may be the real corrupted ones)?

Thanks,
Junxiao.
