Hello all,
     I currently have a system configured as follows :-
1) LVM version 1.0.1-rc4(ish)(03/10/2001)
2) /dev/PROJ/proj on /proj type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)
3) /dev/PROJ/proj        239G  142G   97G  60% /proj
4) 2.4.17 with reiserfs tools 3.x.0k
5) Reiserfs compiled in (CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK set to NO)
6) 256 MB RAM ("sar -r" shows memory usage is not abnormal for this box)
7)Tuns of very small files based on log processing
I am told by my co-worker that the system unresponsive and showed reiserfs
related errors on the console.
Upon restart they noticed that the file
/proj/webtrends/receive/bama/www3/access.01Jun.r.gz was unreadable by root
(permission denied).
I did a reiserfsck on the drive and noticed that access.01Jun.r.gz returned an
error stating the file pointed to nowhere.
I was unable to complete a reiserfsck --fix-fixable because of the length of
time that this (fsck) process took since this was an unscheduled downtime.
During the weekend i will attempt to do the fsck again, however i really
needed to know if this problem has been observed by anyone else, and what
steps they took to fix the problem.
-Kurt
