[Ocfs2-tools-devel] [PATCH 0/8] Fix ECC errors

[Goldwyn Rodrigues]

ECC errors in the filesystem can render the filesystem useless, and
quite often re-creating the filesystem or disabling metaecc is the
only option to fix this. This is an attempt to clear the ECC errors in
fsck by re-calculating the ECC data structure.

A special error code OCFS2_ET_BAD_ECC has been introduced to identify
this error. The error for fsck is a transient error, and library calls
are modified to complete the operation, such as memcpy etc, even if
the calculated ECC is incorrect.

I have only done this for inode, extent block and super block, to
understand if this is acceptable with the rest of the community. I
will start working on the rest of the metadata blocks once this set is
acked.
