The next pos means the position of data cluster (i.e that entry is using the cluster of this position to store data). You have to walk the cluster position chain on FAT table, not directory entry. -- OGAWA Hirofumi ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

And I didn't mention about offset correctly. offset means number of
entries, not bytes offset. So, bytes offset is "buf + offset * 32".
(32 == sizeof(struct msdos_dir_entry))
Thanks.

It looks like wrong as dirent. Did you use 523793 really? If so, I think
523791 is correct value. :)

No. > Or is it the sector that contains the information that points to the > corrupted data? Right. The i_pos is pointing a directory entry (include/linux/msdos_fs.h: struct msdos_dir_entry). And starthi (if FAT32) and start contain the pointer to next cluster number. That message was outputted when walking in cluster chain. If you want to see actual corrupted data, you can check the cluster chain by pointing from that directory entry.

The i_pos means directory entry (contains inode information in unix-fs) position, block number == i_pos / (logical-blocksize / 32) offset == i_pos & (logical-blocksize / 32) the above position's directory entry contains information for problematic file. This is how to use i_pos information. FWIW, in this error case, the cluster chain in FAT table which is pointed by that entry, it has invalid cluster value.
