Hi,

I see the below message when running e2fsck on a partition,

Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.  Fix? yes
Inode 19387 was part of the orphaned inode list.  FIXED.

Does first message mean the unlinked inodes is not removed?
Does this message occur due to some file system corruption?

Any pointed will be helpful. Thanks.
