What OS? Have you run fsck? If you have a bad super block, this should fix it.

icheck
icheck(8) System Manager's Manual icheck(8)
Name
icheck - check inode consistency
Syntax
/etc/icheck [ -s ] [ -b numbers ] [ filesystem ]
Description
The command is obsoleted for normal consistency checking by
The command examines a file system, builds a bit map of used blocks, and compares this bit map against the free list maintained on the file
system. If the file system is not specified, a set of default file systems is checked. The normal output of includes a report of:
o The total number of files and the numbers of regular, directory, block special and character special files.
o The total number of blocks in use and the numbers of single-, double-, and triple-indirect blocks and directory blocks.
o The number of free blocks.
o The number of blocks missing, that is, not in any file nor in the free list.
The option causes to ignore the actual free list and reconstruct a new one by rewriting the super-block of the file system. The file sys-
tem should be dismounted while this is done; if this is not possible (for example if the root file system has to be salvaged) care should
be taken that the system is quiescent and that it is rebooted immediately afterwards so that the old, bad in-core copy of the super-block
will not continue to be used. Notice also that the words in the super-block which indicate the size of the free list and of the i-list are
believed. If the super-block has been curdled these words will have to be patched. The option causes the normal output reports to be sup-
pressed.
Following the option is a list of block numbers; whenever any of the named blocks turns up in a file, a diagnostic is produced.
The command is faster if the raw version of the special file is used, since it reads the i-list many blocks at a time.
Diagnostics
For duplicate blocks and bad blocks (which lie outside the file system) announces the difficulty, the i-number, and the kind of block
involved. If a read error is encountered, the block number of the bad block is printed and considers it to contain 0. `Bad freeblock'
means that a block number outside the available space was encountered in the free list. `n dups in free' means that n blocks were found in
the free list which duplicate blocks either in some file or in the earlier part of the free list.
Restrictions
Since is inherently two-pass in nature, extraneous diagnostics may be produced if applied to active file systems.
It believes even preposterous super-blocks and consequently can get core images.
Files
Default file systems vary with installation.
