The problem was fixed by running checkfs. Thanks.
If checkfs gives a lot of output, is that bad? Is there unrecoverable
data corruption going on or has it been able to fix everything? It
mentioned the following for a number of files:
- has blocks already set
- some blocks weren't allocated
- could not be opened.
It depends for how long the disk was in a corrupted state and how much
activity there was. When blocks are not allocated, it means the file
thinks it owns some sector, but the filesystem can allocate it to
another file (which will lead to mixing up the data of the files).
When files can't be opened at all, it means the filesystem structures
themselves are corrupted, to a point that the FS can't make sense of the
entries at all.
So, you are in "too late for a clean backup" state. I would suggest
trying to recover important files and doing a clean install.
