I have a disk which has a single partition with reiserfs version 3 on it. One day I put the disk on a 3Ware 7506-4LP RAID controller card and tried to mount the partition through the normal mechanisms. (mount -t xfs /dev/..). It was not part of a RAID array, it was just setup as a single disk on the controller. When I did this, mount hung for what seemed to be a long time and then Seg Faulted. Since then I have not been able to mount the partition on either the RAID controller or a normal IDE controller. I get the following error when trying to mount: localhost ~ # mount -t reiserfs /dev/hde1 /stuff mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Checking /var/log/messages reveals the following: ReiserFS: hde1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal ReiserFS: hde1: using ordered data mode ReiserFS: hde1: journal params: device hde1, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 ReiserFS: hde1: checking transaction log (hde1) ReiserFS: hde1: warning: vs-7000: search_by_entry_key: search_by_key returned item position == 0 I then run reiserfsck, which doesn't find any errors: localhost ~ # reiserfsck /dev/hde1 reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) ************************************************************* ** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails ** ** please email bug reports to reiserfs-list@namesys.com, ** ** providing as much information as possible -- your ** ** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck ** ** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, ** ** check the syslog file for any related information. ** ** If you would like advice on using this program, support ** ** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. ** ************************************************************* Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/hde1 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes ########### reiserfsck --check started at Tue Aug 22 19:21:46 2006 ########### Replaying journal..

I'm at a loss for the next steps to take, I'm hoping you can help be get my data back from this drive/partition. Thanks, Brian
