This is part of the ongoing saga with, what appears to be, a bug either in the kernel or reiserfs or both with OpenSuSE 11. Fairly extensively documented at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389656 My machine has had hard crashes due to the above mentioned bug. After the last hard crash ( which occurred while doing rpmbuild on xorg src rpm) , I had to run fsck. fskc reports clean now (ran it one more time just to be sure), but I am stuck with /usr/src/packages/BUILD/xxx directories that I cannot delete. Attempts to delete those directory trees give the following error: cannot remove `xorg-server-1.4.2/GL': Input/output error Attempts to do ls -il on a directory to get the inode result in the same error. However, I was able to mv the above-mentioned BUILD to BUILD.000. So now it looks like the / resiferfs has corruption caused by last hard crash that is not recoverable with fsck.reiserfs. *MAJOR SIGH* Any ideas on how to clean this filesystem or is the dreaded (80+GB of data to juggle around) rebuild my only option?
