Thanks for the pointers to the status of convert. This is not critical data, so it's alright even if something goes wrong. Your rsync options will be very helpful for a future move to btrfs for my /. In the meantime, I managed to resolve my problems. I have several multi-GB files on this drive, I had deleted a few large files from the gui (meaning, they were still in lost+found). That's when the problem started. I could see them in the l+f, but could not remove or restore them. Since the filesystem was rw for the first few seconds, I resorted to a kludge: mount and try to empty the l+f before it turns ro, unmount, rinse repeat. Each time I tried, I removed a few of the files. It took me maybe 4-5 tries to clean about 10 files. Ever since I did this, I have had no problems. I plan to run a scrub sometime soon, maybe tonight. Thanks again, without your warning, I might have run convert on my /. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
