You can fsck the file system if you are feeling especially paranoid, but it's likely that any corruption in data structures are in-memory only. That being said, the in-memory corruptions could cause other corruptions that could eventually corrupt data or metadata. So rebooting right away would be a good idea. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
