Guy,
My main partion, crash. I am getting I/O errors, which I know means the drive is dead. What I need is to get on that partition so I can get my config off or any thing that I can. I have ran reiserfsck --fix-fixable, I get these error, cannot read teh bock 5672. reiserfsck is tell me I can use a -B flag to fix it but when I try to use that flag, I get the help menu. Please some know what I can do to get my data.
Thanks
Payne
As N B Day said, calm down first. Urge is bad adviser as many actions can make situation worse.
-B expects file name with a list of bad blocks, not a bad block number itself
I would use first dd_rescue to pull as much as possible from the drive, than attempt to fix it using manufacturers tool for that, or if dd_rescue fails than straight with manufacturers tool. It will solve bad blocks problem and fsck will be able to repair file system.
The package is ddrescue.
I'm sorry that I can't help more, but without drive type and model is not possible to search the web.
From your another post it seems that bad block is in the middle of the journal.

Rajko, Thanks, your help was what I was needing. I have install the dd_rescue, and I have found this page that explain how to recover my files and remove that bad sector too. http://blog.herbertm.ca/pages/badblocks-howto Again, thanks. I don't post to the list until I have done my google search, man pages, and take a couple of power naps to clear my mind.
