Hi Vitaly!

Thank you for the reiserfsck 3.9.20. It in fact had different results on
 that drive. I had it run in gdb (as I did with 3.6.19 to see what/where
the trouble may be) and the result is:

(***snip***)
vpf-10680: The file [641222 641239] has the wrong block count in the
StatData (1528) - corrected to (1520)
vpf-10680: The file [641222 641241] has the wrong block count in the
StatData (47192) - corrected to (47168)
vpf-10680: The file [641222 641242] has the wrong block count in the
StatData (16624) - corrected to (16528)

are_file_items_correct: All bytes we look for must be first items byte
(position 0).

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()

Hmm... Ugly ;-).

Do you need the metadata or the full logfile or should I send you
something more/else for that?

Thanks and have a nice day,
