Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2006 21:46:11 -0600 Message-ID: <43BF3983.8010004@gmail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: list-help: list-unsubscribe: list-post: Errors-To: flx@namesys.com List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: reiserfs-list@namesys.com So I'm doing an 'mplayer -dumpfile', and before I know it I've completely filled the last 10GB of my hard drive (total 80GB). It wasn't were the OS resided; just a HD used for a file holding space. Anyway, after reaching 100%, the folder I was working in became non-working. When I would do 'ls' from its parent folder, it said something like 'Couldn't lstat /folder permission denied'; even as root. (sorry if my details are sketchy. Unfortunately, I tried tackling this problem while I had a fever. Bad idea.). It's a reiser4 FS, so I umounted and ran: # fsck.reiser4 /dev/hdb1 ... Warn : Fatal corruptions were found. Semantic pass is skipped. ***** fsck.reiser4 finished at Thu Jan 5 18:35:18 2006 Closing fs...done 1 fatal corruptions were detected in FileSystem. Run with --build-fs option to fix them. So, as suggested, I ran: # fsck.reiser4 --build-fs /dev/hdb1 (which ran for ~30 min) ... Warn : Reiser4 storage tree does not exist. Filter pass skipped. ... Fatal: No reiser4 metadata were found. Semantic pass is skipped. ***** fsck.reiser4 finished at Thu Jan 5 19:16:50 2006 Closing fs...done NO REISER4 METADATA WERE FOUND. FS RECOVERY IS NOT POSSIBLE. So this is (ahem) bad, huh? Am I screwed? Or is there any way to recover some of the files? Thanks for reading! Eric P.
