When you say re-format I suspect you mean that you did actually re-format. You could have fixed this with a mkfs. I am a little surprised that fsck didn't fix the problem. That sounds like a bug.
You didn't say if you are using a supported distribution or something else. I assume that you don't have support or you would have reported this to the vendor. You should probably report this to the reiserfs folks, or at least send something to the Linux Kernel Mail List. I tend to shy away from reiserfs since I have noticed that a large number of bugs have been reported on the Linux Kernel Mail List relative to the other filesystems. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ranga Nathan Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 5:37 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: reiserfs file system corruption Some of our partitions using reiserfs are showing a large amount of file corruptions ... like below. I could not fix it using --fix-fixable or even --rebuild-tree. I even copied the data using cp-ax and copied back. Same result. I had to re-format the partition and copy back the data. Is this the only way to fix reiserfs partitions? I am not sure why the --fix-fixable and --rebuild-tree dont work. bad_stat_data: The objectid (1946160282) is marked free, but used by an object [1946160279 1946160282 0x0 SD (0)] bad_stat_data: The objectid (1946160283) is marked free, but used by an object [1946160279 1946160283 0x0 SD (0)] bad_stat_data: The objectid (1946160284) is marked free, but used by an object [1946160279 1946160284 0x0 SD (0)] finished Comparing bitmaps..finished Checking Semantic tree: finished 4312 found corruptions can be fixed when running with --fix-fixable ########### reiserfsck finished at Mon Jun 13 16:54:48 2005 ########### __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.
