Hi,

It seems that fsck.reiser4 -a doesn't do anything. It doesn't even detect
corruption.
I had a /var corruption (reiser4 on /var) over the weekend, and since I was out
of town, the machine was hanging trying to go into multi-user mode for a day
before I could fix the corruption manually. An fsck that actually would do some
automatic repairs (e.g., like ext3 which I use as the root partition) would be
really helpful.
For now, I have resorted to --fix -y at bootup time for all my reiser4
partitions, but that's just a quick hack, and rather unsatisfactory.

Cheers,
-Joe
