What is fixable and what isn't? reiserfsck

[validator]

Hello, I've benn trying to find a definition of a "fixable corruption" (or
minor corruption) versus a "non fixable" corruption. I just know that the
first kind can be fixed by using reiserfsck --fix-fixable and the second
kind with --rebuild-tree. I also know that there is a third type that
affects the superblock and that can be fixed with --rebuild-sb. Could
someone address me to a more technical definition of what is "fixable" and
what isn't.

Thanks.

Hello.

I guess "fixable" corruption is what can be fixed without --rebuild-tree.
I.e. without involving special fsck passes, that will perform a lot of
unneeded work.

Normally, corruption status is figured out by fsck --check (default mode)
with the following suggestion how to fix it.

Thanks,
Edward.
