I've got SuSE 8.0 Pro installed on reiserfs version 3.x.1b. About a week ago my /var/ folder was empty. I know that it wasn't deleted= by=20 any user the files and subfolders where just gone. The content in the /va= r/=20 directory was not that important but today the content of another directo= ry=20 vanished including some files I need. The files vanished today where about 1.5 GB but this space is _not_ free.= So=20 the files aren't there but they are also not realy gone. I first thought I could have exidentaly moved them but I cannot "locate" = them.=20 [Yes I did "updatedb"] So i wanted to do "reiserfsck" but when I mounted the drive read/write it= said ---------------------- reiserfsck 3.x.1b (2002) Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hdb3 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 Fri Jun 21 19:13:18 2002 ########### Device /dev/hdb3 is mounted w/ write permissions, can not check it ---------------------- When I mounted it read only it said the same, also when I did not mount t= he=20 device at all: the same message. So, what can I do? greetings Julian Picht
