File system corruption tests continued with new operating system:
This is an ext2 file system on Linux version 2.1.29.
Spare disk, 98% full of a file called ZERO, from `cp /dev/zero /mnt/ZERO`
/dev/sdc1 893986 832547 15254 98% /mnt
# ls -la /mnt
total 832548
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Mar 11 18:24 ./
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 1024 Mar 11 18:00 ../
-rw------- 1 root root 849182720 Mar 11 18:29 ZERO
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Mar 10 15:27 lost+found/
# cmp -l /mnt/ZERO /dev/zero &> xxx &
# head xxx

94384128 17 0
cmp: /mnt/ZERO: I/O error # Normal (EOF)

This shows file system corruption starting at byte offset 94295041.
This means that the last good byte was at 94295040. 94295041 / 1024 = 92085.
I don't know what this means. Bet it isn't good, though.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
