I've been running with my root partition as ext2 and reiserfs for all my other partitions for many months. I don't remember when I actually made the switch. I recently upgraded to reiserfsprogs 3.6.6-1 via the normal "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade". Since then, fsck has been failing when I reboot. I've tried running "reiserfsck --rebuild-sb" as directed, but I get the same message again when I reboot. My of my dialog with the Debian maintainer is here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=190963 I get this message: sarantium:/home/tepperly# fsck /dev/hda11 fsck 1.33 (21-Apr-2003) <--------reiserfsck 3.6.6, 2003--------> ************************************************************* ** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails ** ** please email bug reports to reiserfs-list@namesys.com, ** ** providing as much information as possible -- your ** ** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck ** ** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, ** ** check the syslog file for any related information. ** ** If you would like advice on using this program, support ** ** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. ** ************************************************************* Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hda11 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes reiserfs_open_journal: journal parameters from the super block does not match to journal parameters from the journal. It is expected if you created your fs with old reiserfsprogs. In this case rebuild-sb will fix it all for you. Either make journal partition available or use --no-journal-available If you have the standard journal or if your partition is available and you specified it correctly, you must run rebuild-sb. sarantium:/home/tepperly# I've run reiserfsck --rebuild-sb on all the reiserfs partitions. It never says anything to indicate that it did or didn't do anything. It would be nice to see something like "super block updated" or "no change needed", but that's kind of beside the point. When I reboot after running reiserfsck --rebuild-sb on all the reiserfs partitions, it fails in fsck in the same way with the same message. It is as though reiserfsck isn't doing anything or is not doing the right thing. The Debian developer suggested that I write to this mailing list for suggestions. Regards, Tom -- Tom Epperly
