I'm happily running Debian 1.1 with Kernel 2.0.10 on several different
machines here, but last week one of these began to show these messages (after
a crash due to a power failure):
EXT2-fs warning (device 16:01): ext2_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 24481
EXT2-fs warning (device 16:01): ext2_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 24481

The PC is a Pentium 100, 32 MB Ram and the hard disk setup is this (from dmesg):
ide: i82371 PIIX (Triton) on PCI bus 0 function 57

The first question is this: which device are 16:02 and 16:01 ? I looked in /dev
searching for devices whith major number 16 but I didn't found any.
Shouldn't hda and hdc correspond to major 3 and 22 ?
The disks are so partitioned:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1 31687 8721 21330 29% /
/dev/hda3 63439 37 60126 0% /tmp
/dev/hda5 495714 232237 237876 49% /usr
/dev/hda6 297603 41177 241056 15% /var
/dev/hda7 227349 22334 193274 10% /usr/local

/dev/hdc2 715203 21411 656849 3% /home
I've tryed to e2fsck /dev/hdc2 (thinking that device 16:02 corresponds
to /dev/hdc2) and it found a lot of errors, but it seemed that e2fsck
was able to correct them all; after rebooting similar messages appeared
again after some hours.
Any clue about this?
Tahnks in advance and best regards,
Luca.
