Rajko,
Thanks, your help was what I was needing. I have install the dd_rescue, and I have found this page that explain how to recover my files and remove that bad sector too.
Good HOWTO. ...
Man, dd_rescue ROCKS!. I was able to get my data with it. I use this dd_rescue -A -v -b 4096 /dev/sdc2 /mnt/backup.img. That took about 3hrs for 5gigs. Once it was done, I ran reiserfsck --check /mnt/backup.img, it came back clean. Now, I got mount -o loop /mnt/backup.img /backup. Thanks again for the help.
Reiserfs was mentioned in this paper: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/wind/Publications/iron-sosp05.pdf as oversensitive to errors making sometimes situation worse than it actually is. There is from same Google search: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org/msg02286.html It is a bit old. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
