I formated on of my Server-HDDs with ReiserFS version, which has been distributed in SuSE Linux 7.3. Sorry, but I don't know the version, cause I'm know running SuSE Linux 8.0. My Problem is, that the HDD cannot be mounted anymore: 1. fileserver:/ # mount /dev/sda1 /ftp/apps/ 2. mount: Not a directory The first line is the command and the second one is what "mount" tells me about my HDD. After this problem I ran reiserfsck: fileserver:/ # reiserfsck /dev/sda1 reiserfsck 3.x.1b (2002) Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sda1 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes):Yes ########### reiserfsck --check started at Wed May 29 19:22:53 2002 ########### Replaying journal.. 0 transactions replayed Checking S+tree.. Bad root block 4294967295. (--rebuild-tree did not complete) Aborted So then I started reiserfsck with option --rebuil-tree as the manpage says: fileserver:/ # reiserfsck /dev/sda1 --rebuild-tree reiserfsck 3.x.1b (2002) ********************************************************** ** This is an experimental version of reiserfsck, ** ** !!

From this point on it continues very slow only. From 150xxx it continues fast til 13039. At this point the program quits without saying anything and the HDD is hung up. The old version of reiserfsck, in the SuSe Linux 7.3 Edition gave out a lot of "Block could not be read" or something like this and the HDD hung up. So I can't get the files on this HDD and my life depends on them, so can someone HELP ME PLEASE? I really need the data! Is there any possibilty of deleating the unreadable blocks and rebuuilding the tree then? When this works, I can get SOME of the information on the HDD back, because there are only 2-3GB data on it and only 900MB of the data is really important. But this 900MB are some of the last files I saved on the HDD. I would be very happy, if someone has any idea of what I can do. Jesse Schl=FCter p.s.: The HDD is a IBM DRHS36V (36GB U2W-SCSI) if that is important. -- Cookie-Monster cookie.monster@starfall.de http://www.starfall.de/
