-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . Remember that if you use Reiser for / it cannot repair itself. You'll notice on reboot after a crash it says "Warning, log replay on read-only filesystem". It's done this as long as I can remember. So install minimum Suse on another partition, and from it, reiserfsck your main / . When you do, you'll get something like below. - -- "I gained nothing at all from Supreme Enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called Supreme Enlightenment." -- Gotama Buddha linux:~ # reiserfsck /dev/hda8 reiserfsck 3.x.1b (2002) Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hda8 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):yes linux:~ # reiserfsck /dev/hda8 reiserfsck 3.x.1b (2002) Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hda8 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Yes ########### reiserfsck --check started at Thu Jun 6 20:53:15 2002 ########### Replaying journal.. trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42679, desc 1277, len 7, commit 1285, next trans offset 1268 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42680, desc 1286, len 30, commit 1317, next trans offset 1300 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42681, desc 1318, len 22, commit 1341, next trans offset 1324 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42682, desc 1342, len 36, commit 1379, next trans offset 1362 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42683, desc 1380, len 42, commit 1423, next trans offset 1406 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42684, desc 1424, len 95, commit 1520, next trans offset 1503 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42685, desc 1521, len 103, commit 1625, next trans offset 1608 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42686, desc 1626, len 4, commit 1631, next trans offset 1614 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42687, desc 1632, len 67, commit 1700, next trans offset 1683 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42688, desc 1701, len 2, commit 1704, next trans offset 1687 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42689, desc 1705, len 7, commit 1713, next trans offset 1696 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42690, desc 1714, len 68, commit 1783, next trans offset 1766 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42691, desc 1784, len 98, commit 1883, next trans offset 1866 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42692, desc 1884, len 28, commit 1913, next trans offset 1896 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42693, desc 1914, len 48, commit 1963, next trans offset 1946 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42694, desc 1964, len 4, commit 1969, next trans offset 1952 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42695, desc 1970, len 2, commit 1973, next trans offset 1956 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42696, desc 1974, len 36, commit 2011, next trans offset 1994 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42697, desc 2012, len 56, commit 2069, next trans offset 2052 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42698, desc 2070, len 8, commit 2079, next trans offset 2062 trans replayed: mountid 32, transid 42699, desc 2080, len 75, commit 2156, next trans offset 2139 21 transactions replayed Checking S+tree..ok Comparing bitmaps..ok Checking Semantic tree... ok No corruptions found There are on the filesystem: Leaves 108316 Internal nodes 714 Directories 28824 Other files 351090 Data block pointers 4553313 (zero of them 505) Safe links 0 ########### reiserfsck finished at Thu Jun 6 20:56:29 2002 ########### linux:~ # -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj0AGpEACgkQnQ18+PFcZJve0wCeL3w7ugPW1lRMJ7CNfaeyYxpv eVQAmwZB+WwE+P8QJm0NqgUaKNrZozrd =IwnD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
