That worked. It eventually required reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, which has scared me in the past, but it went well.
Glad to hear it worked, Ed.
However, I did the backup with find and cpio. The backup runs so well, I think I will use that partition.
We must think alike ... I've had a similarly rebuilt filesystem hanging out empty at /data1 for a couple of months, now. ;-) I haven't decided if/when/how to bring it back into service, since I found nothing in smart or the logs to explain the corruption :-/ What I really need is a safe stress test to run on it for a few days in the background; one that won't make the system fall over if the problem comes back. Keep me in mind in case you run into a utility like that, OK? Regards, - Carl
