Hello everyone,

After a server lost power unexpectedly (read: someone pulled the plug  
out), on reboot
the automatic fsck failed with "UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY" as
the message. Running fsck interactively doesn't seem to be able to  
fix it..

Every time in phase one it says:

CANNOT READ: BLK 66322496
UNEXPECTED SOFT UPDATE INCONSISTENCY

CONTINUE? [yn]  <press y>

THE FOLLOWING DISK SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 66322510,

and the file system is marked as dirty still.. It isn't the root  
partition or anything,
so I can boot the system and mount it read only but I can't repair  
the damage..

Any ideas on what I could try to fix this?

Thanks!
