I have defragmented my ext3 partition with e2defrag, altought i have done that many times in debian without problems on my new gentoo installation it had bad results.

After this was done i copied the whole partition with cp -pr to a different location and created a new ext3 filesystem on /dev/hda2.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=939182809-14022006>Is it possible, that i got so much luck, that only the journalling inode was corrupted, and the rest of my system is intact?
