I'm using reiser4 on a Gentoo home system with a 2.6.9 kernel. Until recently, I had everything except /boot on one partition. My small disk was getting full, so I purchased another slightly bigger disk last week and moved /usr onto a new partition. All seemed fine, until I noticed that my nightly cron job that runs the Gentoo emerge program to check for software updates was failing. After investigating I discovered that a number of directories were missing. That is, they appeared when using 'ls' with no options, but using 'ls -l' produced multiple 'No such file or directory' results. Now it appears I'm unable to remove those directories. 'rm -f ' doesn't work, and rmdir reports the directory isn't empty. I can rename the directory, but that doesn't fix the apparent corruption in the filesystem. Also, fsck.reiser4 doesn't report any problems. Can anyone explain why this might have happened and what I might be able to do to fix it? thanks! Mike
