Hi,
Checking reiserfs manpages...i dont see a mention of
the effects of killing --rebuild-tree process once in
progress.
Can this be suspended (ctrl ^Z)?

_thanks

Richard

it is possible to lose data, when interrupting reiserfsck, however 
it depends on the rebuild stage: 
pass0, pass1 -- no problem;
2 -- internal tree is rebalanced intensively, the worst time to kill;
semantic and lost&found passes -- it is posible to lose data as when 
a corruption is found, tree is rebalanced. thus than fewer corruptions 
present, than fewer rebalancings are performed, than lower chances
to lose data.

yes, no problem.
