After the backup, I unmounted the drive explicitly, then rebooted. I did not use the backed up drive for anything except tar-ring its files. On next boot to the r4 / partition, all kinds of file not found errors occurred. I booted again to my non-r4 partition, and ran fsck.reiser4 --check -y there were fatal errors on my r4 /. The backup was fine. I downgraded back to reiserfs which does not exhibit this problem. I have not experienced any problem with other r4 partitions. Just /. /home, /tmp, /src, etc. are fine. Unfortunately, I don't have time to keep wondering where the problem is or why. Perhaps it's the kernel or the init scripts. Nonetheless, the instability of whatever the problem is is unnerving. -- Peter +++++ Do not reply to this email, it is a spam trap and not monitored.
