I added RAM to my workstation and rebooted. Big mistake: I had stopped the machine with swsusp instead of a plain halt. By the time I realized it, it was too late. swsusp recover failed because the RAM size didn't match. Now the reiserfs partition is half-unmounted, and trying to mount results in an endless loop as reiserfs tries to replay the journal. Is the partition recoverable? Can the data be retrieved? Should I try reiserfsck or not? Should I try to get swsusp to recover the same state and do its thing, or is it too late? Should I run to the shop where I sent my previous hardware-crashed disk so that they don't actually send the disk back to manufacturer for exchange? What a loser! Thanks for your precious advice.
