reiserfs using too much space on my HD

reiserfs using too much space on my HD

Hi,

I've been using reiserfs for several years now and it's been choice number
one for me; I'll probably switch to reiser4 once it's in the main kernel.

on my home file server machine, one hard drive (120GB) reports 80 GB used,
but I have no idea how and where it's used.

df -h reports 80GB used

but when I run kdirstat, I get about 10GB used for directory /.

I ran fsck.reiserfs from liveCD and it reported no errors.

is there any better way to tell what's eating up my hard drive?

Regards,

-Bedros

Please send output of reiserfsck 3.6.19.

"du -shx" reports 9.5GB

I'm running latest from gentoo, so I assume it's 3.6.19.

I ran fsck.reiserfs from gentoo liveCD 2005.1 and at the end I got zero
errors.

The problem could be fixed, I could tar the whole root directory to an
external drive, format the partition and then tar it back. but I'm not sure
what's going on?

I'll post all logs on this list tomorrow.

Vlad,

fsck.reiserfs version is 3.6.19; when I run it, it reports no corruption
errors found at the end; or something like that.

I'll tar the whole partition to an external drive, then format it and untar
it again.

Anyone knows if "tar cvjpf file /" is suffecient to keep all permisions etc.
(including for system directories such as /proc /dev) and restoring exactly
as it was before format?

Thanks,

-B

p will preserve permissions, but I'd add l to avoid traversing the
virtual proc and sys filesystems. You'll also need a minimal set of
device nodes. I find it easiest to tar up my current /dev (p is all you
need here too) rather than making only the devices needed before udev
starts.
