Make sure to get latest reiserfsprogs (v3.x.1b) from namesys ftp site.

I did this and installed it.  But, of course, my rescue disk has the old
3.x.0j version not the new 3.x.1b version.  How can I use the new
version?

Your filesystem was corrupted by something. Do you have Windows on that
box,
too?

I have windows on the first drive, which I rarely use, and a vfat
windows partition on the second drive so that I could transfer files.

I'm not sure, but I think my problems started after a power outage.

This message confirms damaged blocks theory.

Get latest reiserfsprogs package and run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree.

I presume I'm supposed to remount my / drive as read only.  I'm not sure
how to do that.  I'll try to find out.


Thanks for the help.
