Hi list, Any experience with reiserfsck? Second drive began report weird messages, and later un-boota-able, that according too google related to reiser. Tried reiserfsck, that reported me to issue an reiserfsck --rebuild-tree Tried it, pass1,2,3 but at the point of syncing, system frooze. Waited several hours (just in case), then reboot. Drive remained unbootable. Again, reiserfsck (without any options) reported that rebuild did not finish. re-issued with --rebuild again. finished with some repairs. tried reiser-fsck: told me id did not complete.... According to the pages, i should have made a copy with dd, but i did not have some 120G empty space arround. Am i correct in the thought that the partition is FUBAR (f* up beyond any repair/recognition) ?
