ext2 error

I just noticed an error message (kernel 2.0.35) that has me a tad baffled:

EXT2-fs error (device 08:11): ext2_find_entry: directory #5996921 contains a hole at offset 5509120

now, according to /proc/devices, major 8 is sd -- fine. minor 11 seems to be sda11, but there are only 4 partitions on the disk.

am I really confused about the device numbering system?

(I'm assuming since the error was found, the error was also fixed. I started getting baffled when I thought I would umount the fs and do fsck just to be sure. Since things seem to point to a non-existant partition, I'm stuck.)

thanks.
