Hello,

Unfortunately that output was not logged and it will take a couple of 
hours to do a new check and get the output, but besides the specific 
numbers in the following output which i found (after posting my help 
request) in the mailing list archive the message i got was this:
[snip]

Pass 0:

out of disk space

Aborted

So i guess i should do as you replied to the person posting this and do 
a dd to a bigger partition and do the rebuild-tree there?
Here is the reply to the older post:

[snip]

you need to get a larger partition, dd hdg1 there, run 'reiserfsck --rebuild-sb' 
on the copy to enlarge the fs size and after that run 'reiserfsck --rebuild-tree' 
on it. or you can enlarge the existent hdg1.

Note: some disk space will be added to the current partition, if there was a 
reiserfs before, that fs metadata will be mixed with the current fs. to avoid 

it, zero the added disk space first (dd if=/dev/zero ...)

[/snip]

I don't get the last part, if i do this and it works well i end up with 
an OK file system on the other partition, should i completely wipe the 
old partition before i dd it back to avoid problems? dd if=/dev/zero 
of=/dev/oldpart?

Do you think there's any hope getting my data back?

Thanks for replying!

/Johan
