Check your /var/log/messages file for error messages from ReiserFS.
Nothing listed there at all. I have thought of the disc maybe being the problem. It's a new Travelstar 40gb 5400rpm drive, and since I put it in I had a feeling the notebook (old P-III) may not be giving the drive enough power, because I didn't see any speedup at all over the old 4200rpm drive, and also from time to time the drive makes a tick-tick-tick sound. But after about three months without any incidents, I assume the drive is working fine. I cannot delete the parent directory either - it gives me the same error. Root cannot touch those two files. I'll try renaming it - might get symptoms out of the way. I'm going to reload with SuSE 10.0 when I get my package some time this week, so its not super urgent, but this is a problem I've seen before and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks Hans
