- Well, I think that the problem with bad directories (a bug in the dirs
- handling routines) has been corrected in 0.98pl6. If you can, upgrade to a
- newer version of the Linux kernel or get the file extfs.p6.Z which is available
- by ftp on ftp-masi.ibp.fr and on tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory
- /pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs. Then, apply the patch to the kernel sources, rebuild
- a kernel and boot from it. Note that the latest release of efsck (from version
- 10.1) are able to correct bad directory entries.
