subject: Raspbian on ext4: Structu

Hi all,

I have several Raspberries running. One of them is used to collect sensor
data, and since it is located > 100 miles distant, it is currently only
accessible via VPN.

Last reboot was end of November and now I have to see that a stat, ls
etc. to some directories on the ext4 partition return an error alert
"structure need cleaning".

Reading in some RPi fora it looks like this is a common problem related
to ext4.

So, some questions (since I don't have the chance to drive to that
location now and replace the SD card / installation):

- Has someone already installed Raspbian (Buster) on ext3 instead of ext4,
and if so, will this prevent the card from further problems like this?

- What can be done remotely now to "repair" the FS? -- I can hardly pull
the card out of it and run an fsck on a second machine via VPN.
B.t.w., badblocks came back with 0 errors, the SD card seems still ok.

I assume that the next reboot will be the last one...
So, any ideas highly appreciated. -- Thanks!

Best regards,

Markus
