Hi all,
On one of our alphas (400-2/233 OSF/1 V3.2C ) has developed a problem
with the UFS filesystem on the g partition on its internal disk
The partition table
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 262144 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 328*)
b: 1048576 262144 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 328*- 1642*)
c: 2050860 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - 2569)
d: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
e: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
f: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
g: 740140 1310720 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1642*- 2569*)
h: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
du and df reports appear OK
# du -s -k
202382 .
# df -k .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/rz0g 357989 202382 119808 63% /local/data
But dump estimates is huge breaking our nightly backups
# dump 0f /mnt/tmp/data/shelley.dmp /dev/rrz0g
dump: Dumping from host shelley.dra.hmg.gb
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Nov 16 09:53:02 1995 GMT

dump: Estimate: 15145784 tape blocks on 0.00 volume(s)
dump: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
dump: 0.00% done -- finished in 25:14
I have tracked down the problem to one directory where ls -l incorrectly
report 412Gbyte files !!
# ls -l

I have tried umounting the disk and doing an fsck -o /dev/rrz0g but it
passed cleanly.
Any Suggestion on how to recover or should I newfs the partition and
restore from last weeks backup?
Thanks for any suggestion
Tim.
