E2fsck, fsck(.ext2) (e2fsprogs-1.12) can't repair this damages. All
filesystem is now mounted with errors. Is this reparable dmage of the
ext2fs ?
(I think... without formating or low-level formating of a hard disk)

These are actually very minor filesystem errors; e2fsck should have
absolutely no trouble fixing this kind of damage.

What makes you think that e2fsck is having trouble repairing this
damage? What messages is it printing out?
