Be careful not to answer yes to questions unless you know what they mean. If
it tells you about suspect nodes, you will have to write down the location of
the nodes and manually fix them. I am not sure how to do this. If you answer
"yes" to the questions it asks about changing the nodes, it will most likely
compound your problem and you will have a partition full of fragmented files
without directories, which is fun to wade through. I mean not fun.
Again, if your fsck asks you a bunch of yes/no questions... don't tell it to
change anything unless you know what you are doing. It is asking you those
questions for a reason, i.e. "this may screw something up, so i'm giving you
the option: yes or no?"
I don't know anyting about manually fixing those inodes, I'll see what I can
find. In the meantime, someone else might know...
