I have a few files that are giving me (root) a permission denied message when trying to delete them. How can I remove them successfully. I'm not sure if they are damaged (suspect they are), I am using reiserfs, what arguments if any are required to fsck.reiserfs to check and report if they are damaged? I had a similar problem a few years ago (eneded up to be a HW problem that caused some corruption). You can run Reiser has a number of options, and the file system may not be mounted at the time. For the root file system, boot the rescue system. The first thing I do is run with the --check option. Then I might simply run with --rebuild-tree. Once your file system is clean, you should be able to delete the file in question.
