If the kernel obeyed you on a corrupted inode on a normal file then it would presumably add a whole pile of randomly numbered disk blocks to the free-list, further corrupting the contents. In this case, since they are perceived as character special files the kernel might assume there are no allocated blocks. Has anyone checked the kernel source to confirm that it would be OK? I would rather rename them. Do you NEED them? Are you going to reinstall without a fsck? ls -li ezml* will tell you the inode numbers df -i . will tell you how many inodes total allowed on your fs. if the inode number is outside the range then who knows what will happen. If the inode numbers are in range then presumably your inode tables are stuffed. How many other files are gone? good luck,..
