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. This is easily seen after a crash and e2fsck on /tmp
when X/Enlightenment/Gnome have been running, since they create a lot of
named sockets.
Cheers, Andreas
