I was following Carl Spitzer's advice concerning getting my firewire drive to let me write to it(It worked,thanks Carl). He also noticed that in my fstab I had my floppy and dvdrecorder devices under subfs and he suggested I add 'users' to the fs= part of the media under subfs,which I did using vim. But I still couldn't write to the floppy even though I owned it. So I decided to run SuSEconfig-no help. Then I decided to reboot and this has led to a serious problem for me.
Thanks Carl for you're reply. This a problem I can only solve with the help of others or a clean install. As I reported in a later email I've run reiserfsck, reiserfsck --fix-fixable, reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, reiserfsck --rebuild-sb and e2fsck on the other filesystems-all in rescue mode. My filesystems have all been fixed according to e2fsck and reiserfsck. Mount lists my filesystem twice, my devices:/ folder is empty and I can't access the internet, but everything else works fine. I don't think the filesystems are the problem but I do want to take a look using debugreiserfsck, maybe I can find a clue. Right now I think my only option is to clean install and restore my home folder and whatever else I need--to save as much of my system as I can. I'm surprised that only you and Anders have responded. I had thought a problem like this would have been more popular on the list. If you like, check my other later emails on this thread, you might notice something that could help me out of this. You know what they say: 'Two minds are better than one' (most of the time):-) Thanks, Jerome
