Reiserfs with standard journal found, but there was specified a journal dev

Reiserfs with standard journal found, but there was specified a journal dev

[Julian Hall]

My FS never had an external journal device.  I've used 'dd' to transfer 
it to a different partition and am trying to get it to work, but I get 
the following messages from reiserfsck:

vengeance:~# reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/hdc1

<-------------reiserfsck, 2002------------->
reiserfsprogs 3.6.4
[...]
Will check superblock and rebuild it if needed
Will put log info to 'stdout'

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you 
do):Yes
super.c 228 rebuild_sb
Reiserfs with standard journal found, but there was specified a journal dev


Do I need to use the --no-journal-available option?  Or is it something 
else.  If I just run --check rather than anything else, it manages to 
check the journal OK, but then complains that --rebuild-tree didn't 
finish last time.

Any ideas?

Jules

It means, that superblock has journal dev field initialized by not zero.

I can do the following:
(1) Backup your data by using dd (if you are sure, that your drive has 
not bad blocks on it) or dd_rescue otherwise 
(http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/).

(2) Rebuild superblock by means of using reiserfsck --rebuild-sb
(3) Usual fsck check and following to its instructions.

Sorry :) I wanted to say, that you can do the listed operations :)

That's essentially what I was trying to do, but --rebuild-sb won't run. 
 I've tried --no-journal-available also (what the heck, it's only a copy 
of the data...!), but that wouldn't work either (same message: "super.c 
228 rebuild_sb // Reiserfs with standard journal found, but there was 
specified a journal dev").

I'm stumped now.  Anyone got any more suggestions?

Please try reiserfsprogs-3.6.5-pre2, I think I remember something about similar problem
being fixed.

Thank you.
