SubjectMassize disk corruption under 2.1.88
Hi All,

   I was trying to compile pre-2.1.89-5 while running 2.1.88 - and
basically had my entire /usr/src/linux-2.1 tree cloberred (If not more).
   It took a couple passes with fsck.ext2 to "fix" it.  

   This is actually what happened:

   1.  I booted 2.1.88.

   2.  my /usr/src/linux was actually a sym-link to /usr/src/linux-2.1.
       linux->linux-2.1

   3.  I ran patch -cd pre-patch-2.1.89-5.gz | patch -p0 -b -E
   4.  cd /usr/src/linux, ran thru menuconfig.

   5.  make dep; make clean; make zImage.

   6.  The make zImage failed.  It appeared to be a straight forward
       error.  

   7.  I tried to back out the patch:
       cd /usr/src
       patch -cd pre-patch-2.1.89-5.gz | patch -p0 -b -E -R
       it failed *right* away, not being able to find linux/CREDITS !!

   8.  It was then that I rebooted, and the fun began.
       Finally, after I fixed everything, the contents of lost+found appearred
       to be all kernel source.  The rest of /usr (a seperate pack) appears
       okay.



   I had a similar thing happen a while back in the 2.1.x series, I can't
   quite remember there.
