A couple of days ago I noticed that a 117 directories in one of my logical volumes had turned to sockets wich fsck does not seem to fix. All the affected folders(sockets) have the following attributes srwxr-xr-x 32770 2147516917 2147516917 2147520512 and they all report the same size of 1073758212 (1.1T). Does anyone have an explanation as to how this could happen and more importandly is there a way to reverse this ? My system is Mandrake 10 with kernel 2.6.3-8mdk, if you need more info then just ask.
