If that's not the last one (3.6.3), you should download reiserfsprogs-3.6.3 from our ftp site. > I probed with badblocks and reiserfsck --rebuild -sd but was not > anithing problem and my fear is I wrote that somebody have lose their HD > with reiserfsck --rebuild -tree because after can't mount their units.I That was possible because of reiserfsck crash for example, data are still not lost though partition cannot be mounted. > think that this is the last option if I have another > Have another options before my HD is totally crash and all information > is missing? Well, if you want to be on safe side, you can create metadata snapshot (debugreiserfs -p /dev/device | gzip -9c >metadata.gz) and make it available for us to download. and we can verify that reiserfsprogs will work as expected. Make sure you use reiserfsprogs 3.6.3 version for that operation. Or you can download reiserfsprogs 3.6.3 and run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree from there and only contact us if it will crash. (with metaadta, too). Also after your problems are over you will need to upgrade the kernel to avoid future corruptions. Bye, Oleg
