I ran /dev/hda3, which is my home directory, and got a ton of messages. Most of them have to do with objectids being shared by 2 files. The last note says: 14 found corruptions can be fixed only when running with--rebuild-tree. Can't I delete the files instead? If not, how do I run the option? I tried and can't seem to get it working. Yes, you have reiserfs, and the reiserfsck will not run on a mounted file system. The only way to fix your root file system with reiserfsck is to boot another system, generally the rescue CD. Then you can rebuild
