But reiserfsck fails every time with: -o-o- ########### reiserfsck --check started at Thu Sep 30 15:42:47 2004 ########### reiserfs_open_journal: journal parameters from the super block does not match to journal parameters from the journal. You should run reiserfsck with --rebuild-sb to check your superblock consistency. -o-o- If I do as adviced (reiserfsck --rebuild-sb), it says the superblock is fine. Next time it fails with the same message. Only supplying -j /dev/hda5 to every reiserfs-prog will help :( Doing an #> reiserfstune --new-journal-dev /dev/hda5 doesn't cure it, too. I think, that is not as it's supposed to work because it'll _break all system boot-up scripts_ ! Is it some subtle bug in the reiserfs-progs, because they try to extract the journal_dev from the SB (as a quick look at the source reveals) but don't use it properly? Kind regards, Ronny
