I have a large hard-disk (120 GB) on which some blocks went bad.

Now, it cannot be mounted. Attached is what debugreiserfs says. What can I do; I'm newbie to reiserfs architecture.

I don't use Reiser, but there is the --rebuild-sb option in reiserfsck that you can try. Unfortunately, the Reiser utilities have no way of handling badblocks like the -c option in e2fsck- you will need to follow these instructions:

Thanks for the answer. I don't need to keep using the hard-disk with the bad-blocks, only to retrieve data from it, which I have solved by copying with dd_rescue to an identical disk.
