Oh s..t. At installation time, I was thinking to use ext3 partitions instead. But then I saw the ReiserFS was default with Suse, and I opted for it.
The only times I've had reiserfs problems they have been due to hardware on the way out - IDE controller chips and other motherboard faults, reiserfsck has corrected the problem, but much later some hardware has died and that goes way back to when we first moved from ext2 (problems with ext2 also) to reiserfs. There is nothing unreliable about reiserfs and I'm using it on 3
That's too strong an afirmation. It is very reliable, yes, but not absolutely so. Me, I have had bad problems with it, a big corruption. I still use it, but I don't trust it as much. But that is not the problem the OP had. He had a problem, a corruption somewhere, that was not detected by the boot-up fast fs check. And it should have. The "permission denied" message when root tries to list files is typical of this situation. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCthIdtTMYHG2NR9URAnodAJ4obbr6Ll57oiUyRv0ESu5wHOYOggCfUhI4 Xf4HHLb9aG0B5iGqPqp8Ha8= =dmHg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
