I have a file system that has a bunch of truncated inodes on it.  Fsck fails out on shourt read on inode #######  I don't know what file it is and when I try to do a ncheck on the inode number so I can run the clri command from the debugfs it fails and does not get me the file name, so my question is, is there a way of clearing the contents of an inode if all I have is the number of the inode?  I can do desastroy recovery once I get the file system stable.

Right now I can still use the file system but I have to boot with out the partion listed in /etc/fstab then mount it manual, even after I run fsck on it and reboot with it in fstab it will state that the filesystem is damaged and fsck it and fail out on the short read.
