Unfortunately, I've gone from having one or two directories not accessible to having the whole partition not accessible now. Everything seems to go ok until pass 2. At this point I start getting this error: "do_pass_2: The block (4901823) is in the tree already. Should not happen." This keeps coming up as fast as the terminal will display it. It seems to be an endless loop as leaving it on for 4 hours resulted in an essentially infinite number of error messages with no corresponding disk activity. I'm running reiserfsck with the following command line: reiserfsck -z -S --rebuild-sb --rebuild-tree /dev/hda3 I'm pretty sure that -z and --rebuild-sb are more or less unnecessary, but I'm trying to be thorough. Running just reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hda3 results in a similar error message. I don't remember the exact wording of it, but it is along the lines of, "marked as a leaf but is not a leaf". Any suggestions are very welcome. I'd certainly hate to lose all of this data. p.s. My system is Debian GNU/Linux Unstable, running a 2.4.20 kernel. --=20 Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
