The data is not THAT importend, all our importend data is backuped 4=20 times, inc. original (well, 3 times now, since the 1300gig machine is=20 broke). I did a bit furtur reasearch and maybe this is something to think about=20 if you use reiserfs : I did a bad block check and I have 10 bad blocks of 4096bytes on 1300Gig=20 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=20 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.
