Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Firstly, I haven't subscribed to this list since 2.3 so please also copy me on repsonses. Secondly, I am e-mailing from my Mother's place as it IS Mother's Day AND my home PC will no longer boot Linux (my primary OS), so please send responses to johnnyo@mindspring.com TIA :-) Now the problem. I use reiserfs on all my filesystems. I have noticed some minor corruption of files in the past when I didnt shut down Linux properly (lockups, etc). I experiment alot with my computer. Anyway lately I was havin a problem that required frequent reboots. Now I believe my root filesystem is corrupted?!? Linux 2.4.18 boots till it gets to reiserfs: checking transaction log (device 08:12) attempt to access beyond end of device 08:12: rw=0 want=268574776 limit=8747392 vs-13070: reiserfs_read_inode2: i/o failure occurred trying to find stat data of [1 2 0x0 SD] Using r5 hash to sort names Reiserfs version 3.6.25 VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly. Warning: unable to mount devfs, err: -5 Freeing unused kernel memory: 224k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic: No init found. If someone can get me to the point where I can just get to read my filesystem read-only, so I get get all my data off of it, I would be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL! I have some very important data on that FS. I went to the reiserfs web site to discover I'd get charged $25 for asking for help, so unless someone convinces me otherwise, I will be converting to EXT3 when this disaster is over... Slackware Linux 8.1b2 Linux 2.4.18 ReiserFS 3.6.25 GLIBC 2.2.5 GCC 2.95.3 Any help please?!? John O'Donnell johnnyo@mindspring.com
