find issue led to possible fsck bug

[Scot L. Harris]

New clean install of FC5.

Error from running find command:


[root at ws-ai ~]# find / -name "ipop*" -print
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/ipop3d
/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/ipop3d.conf
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /selinux: this may be a bug
in your filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf
option.  Earlier results may have failed to include directories that
should have been searched.


I recommended they run fsck on the file systems to identify and fix any
problems.

[root at ws-ai ~]# fsck -n -f -v

Subsequent runs of fsck to actually fix the problems does not appear to
work.  I even had them put the file /forcefsck on the system and reboot.
Same issues.  The results of the fsck seem to vary slightly.

Harddrive tests have been run on the drives.

System info:

FC-5 on ws-ai
Intel Celeron 2.8ghz

He also tried a standard IDE drive with similar results and also had
similar results on a different system.

I searched bugzilla but did not find anything similar.  I have filed a
bug report #190347.

At this point he is considering reverting back to RH8.

Anyone have suggestions?
