Working reiserfsck?

Working reiserfsck?

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

On one of my machines, I installed reiserfs on / fs.... and got to habit
of just powering that machine down with powerswitch. I was running
various kernels at least from 2.4.3 on it.

Now I tried to run reiserfsck, and (besides it having very ugly UI) it
reported some problems. Question is, how to correct those? reiserfsck
attitude seems to be "run me and I'll kill your filesystem". Is it really
that dangerous? Where to get working reiserfsck?

The best reiserfsck version right now is in
ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfsprogs/pre

It should fix the problem, backups are always handy though.

Yep, mounted readonly on /.

You reminded me of another question: When should be reiserfsck run?

Machine crashes.

Should I run reiserfsck after booting from floppy, or should I mount
and umount to let log be replayed?

PS: Oh, btw, I tried lftp ftp.namesys.com:/pub/reiserfsprogs/pre, and
it did not finish within 10 minutes. I'll retry in the night.
