The latest I could find was 3.x.1c-pre3 on the namesys ftp server. I have the same problem on a machine (made worse by the fact that the filesystem was a RAID0 partition). I keep getting "wrong superblock", even after I told reiserfsck to rebuild the superblock. I won't pretend I know much about filesystems, so - is my situation hopeless? (meaning, does RAID mess things up even worse?) Am I doing something wrong? Is there a difference between -pre3 and -pre4 which might change the response of --rebuild-tree? Thanks for any help Eugenio
