Shut down. Boot into rescue mode using the installation DVD/CD. Mount the partition. Make backups, as needed. Unmount the partition. Run reiserfsck to diagnose/repair the problem(s).
That worked. It eventually required reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, which has scared me in the past, but it went well. However, I did the backup with find and cpio. The backup runs so well, I think I will use that partition. Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26
