Re: Reiserfs 1300G partition on lvm problem ...

[Matthias Barremaecker <info@mh.be>]

Hi,

Thanx for your reply.

The data is not THAT importend, all our importend data is backuped 4 
times, inc. original (well, 3 times now, since the 1300gig machine is 
broke).

I did a bit furtur reasearch and maybe this is something to think about 
if you use reiserfs :

I did a bad block check and I have 10 bad blocks of 4096bytes on 1300Gig 
and ... that is the reason reiserfs will not work anymore.

I guess this sux. I rather have that the data on the bad blocks is just 
corupted but the rest is accesseble.

I'm doing a --rebuild-tree with the bad block list. Hopes this works.


Aren't there any tools to substract data from a broken reiserfs partition ?


kind regardes,

Matthias.
