(the previous message is not good -   ....it started because of my error...
)

In order to grow the swap partition, I made this:

============
resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost-home
resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/localhost-home 700G
lvresize --size 651G /dev/fedoralocalhost-home
----------- the command pvscan gave me this output:
PV /dev/sda2   VG  fedora_localhost   lvm2 931 GB 227 GB free

============

After I  gained the space,

...I had to resize the sawp partition, to finish my job ...
...but instead I restarted the computer.


At the boot the computer started in emergency mode, and
in the file journalctl  I learned that fsck failed and the /home directory
wasn't mounted...


I used e2fsck to check the file system and got this message :
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sda: xxx/yyy files (0.3% non-contiguous), zzzz/wwww blocks

I know  what mean file not contiguous but : why this could happen ?
Can I do something to repair this file system and to get the computer to
boot ?

Thank you
