I need some help. A couple of times I have corrupted my filesystem for
one reason or another. When fsck runs at boot time, I get the message
for duplicate blocks ( B DUP I=I ). I have never been able to recover 
from this (I didn't today either). Fsck halts after phase 1, and I am 
stuck with a corrupt file system.

Is this recoverable, is there a way to determine which other inode is
pointing at the block in question, and how can I clear the inode in 
error.

Also is there a good reference on what I can do with fsdb in cases
like this?
