UNREF FILE I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T (RECONNECT?)

Inode I was not connected to a directory entry when the filesystem was traversed. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T of inode I are printed. If the -n option is omitted and the filesystem is not mounted, empty files are cleared automatically. Nonempty files are not cleared.

SORRY. NO lost+found DIRECTORY

There is no lost+found directory in the root directory of the filesystem; fsck ignores the request to link a file in lost+found.

Use fsck -l to recover and create the lost+found directory as soon as possible.

SORRY. NO SPACE IN lost+found DIRECTORY

There is no space to add another entry to the lost+found directory in the root directory of the filesystem; fsck ignores the request to link a file in lost+found.

Use fsck -l to recover and clean out the lost+found directory as soon as possible.

(CLEAR)

The inode mentioned in the immediately previous UNREF error condition cannot be reconnected, so it is cleared.

LINK COUNT FILE I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T COUNT=X SHOULD BE Y (ADJUST?)

The link count for inode I, which is a file, is X but should be Y. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T are printed.

LINK COUNT DIR I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T COUNT=X SHOULD BE Y (ADJUST?)

The link count for inode I, which is a directory, is X but should be Y. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T of directory inode I are printed.

LINK COUNT F I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T COUNT=X SHOULD BE Y (ADJUST?)

The link count for F inode I is X but should be Y. The filename F, owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T are printed.

UNREF FILE I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T (CLEAR?)

Inode I, which is a file, was not connected to a directory entry when the filesystem was traversed. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T of inode I are printed. If the -n option is omitted and the filesystem is not mounted, empty files are cleared automatically. Nonempty directories are not cleared. Typically, you should answer no the first time this error appears and yes the second time if you know the files claimed by the other inode.

UNREF DIR I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T (CLEAR?)

Inode I, which is a directory, was not connected to a directory entry when the filesystem was traversed. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T of inode I are printed. If the -n option is omitted and the filesystem is not mounted, empty directories are cleared automatically. Nonempty directories are not cleared. Typically, you should answer no the first time this error appears and yes the second time if you know the files claimed by the other inode.

BAD/DUP FILE I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T (CLEAR?)

Phase 1 or Phase 1B found duplicate blocks or bad blocks associated with file inode I. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T of inode I are printed. Typically, you should answer no the first time this error appears and yes the second time if you know the files claimed by the other inode.

BAD/DUP DIR I=I OWNER=O MODE=M SIZE=S MTIME=T (CLEAR?)

Phase 1 or Phase 1B found duplicate blocks or bad blocks associated with directory inode I. The owner O, mode M, size S, and modify time T of inode I are printed. Typically, you should answer no the first time this error appears and yes the second time if you know the files claimed by the other inode.

FREE INODE COUNT WRONG IN SUPERBLK (FIX?)

The actual count of the free inodes does not match the count in the superblock of the filesystem.
