I guess "fixable" corruption is what can be fixed without --rebuild-tree. I.e. without involving special fsck passes, that will perform a lot of unneeded work. Normally, corruption status is figured out by fsck --check (default mode) with the following suggestion how to fix it. Thanks, Edward. validator wrote: > Hello, I've benn trying to find a definition of a "fixable corruption" (or > minor corruption) versus a "non fixable" corruption.
