Alan,
can you please add the following patch into the 2.2.16-pre tree. It is a
back-port of a fix in 2.3 which adds the missing de->file_type information
for sockets in ext2. Without this patch, e2fsck complains about all
of the inodes in the filesystem that are sockets because the filetype
hasn't been set.
Cheers, Andreas
