I'm running SUSE 10.1 with your reiser fs on two partitions.

I created a directory, with files, on one partition, but wanted to move
that directory and files to another partition, so I did

    # go to one partition
    cd /home
    # try to move directory and files from this partition to another
partition
    mv dot-xyz /root/.xyz

The files never moved, and now I've got some sort of soft link existing
on the /home partition into the / partition. I can't delete the softlink
either. Yes, I can 'rm' the link, but somehow, if I tar into dot-xyz,
files end up on /root/.xyz.

I've run your latest released fsck and it finds no problems.

What are my options?
