Subject: 64-bit inodes and back again
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:28:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E825C25.6050804@cchtml.com> (raw)

Hello,

I enabled 64-bit inodes on a 2.6.35.14 kernel system. I ran into some 
software that did not handle this well, so I wanted to go back to 32-bit 
inodes. When I booted into the system again, any files that were created 
while in 64-bit inode mode are inaccessable and are shown to me like this:

$ ls -l /var/lib/mock/
ls: cannot access /var/lib/mock/dist-5E-build-373-1401: Invalid argument
??????????? ? ?    ?     ?            ? dist-5E-build-373-1401

I was led[1] to believe that this would not cause problems, but it has.

I have run xfs_repair on the file system but the old files still remain.

Are there any other things I can do to fix this? One thought is to 
remount with 64-bit inodes and erase or copy the offending files, but is 
that my only option?
