There are six different parts in the file where it points to a single block, which in the dos/windows world would be known as a crosslinked file if that helps you understand the situation any better. > i don't want to delete that file, how can i solve my problem? > copying that file to another partition? If you can boot from another disk (Knoppix maybe as suggested in another post) and copy the file that would be one solution. > running fsck or ex2fsck? > > i tried to log in as root and typed fsck -n (assuming "no" to all questions, > you know) and i saw that it first asks: "clone multiply-claimed block(s)?" > and then : "delete file?" > > what can i do? > cloning them will damage anything? The damage is already done. If you let it clone the blocks five copies of the block should be made (for a total of 6) so each instance of claimed ownership will have it's own copy of that data. The end result of this should be the same as you would get if you boot from another disk and copy the file.

This might just be another case of 'Knoppix to the rescue'. You seem to know which file contains the offending block, right? Just boot into Knoppix (or Morphix, DSL, whatever), see whether you can read the file OK and save it to a removable medium. After that, running ex2fsck and letting it delete the file should do the trick. Good luck, --j signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Urgent problem with ext3 filesystem!!!
hello,when i boot my pc, it stops on root filesystem check, because it says that a file has "6 multiply-claimed block(s), shared with 0 file(s)"so i can't boot linux.i don't want to delete that file, how can i solve my problem? copying that file to another partition?running fsck or ex2fsck?i tried to log in as root and typed fsck -n (assuming "no" to all questions, you know) and i saw that it first asks: "clone multiply-claimed block(s)?" and then : "delete file?"what can i do?cloning them will damage anything?help me please!thanks a lotbest regards.
