[gentoo-user] Recurring reiserfs error

2006-10-06 Thread reader
(note dmesg follows message)

Out of 12 partitions in my setup 8 are reiserfs.  During bootup I see
them go by being checked, but always the last one /dev/hda11 fails
with this message:

 fsck could not repair all errors 

And drops me into the repair shell.

This has happened over several kernels and for mnths. 
I finally just took to C-d to finish booting.  This is after stopping
to reiserfsck /dev/hda11 many times.  It always passes with no error
messages. 

Oddly, the drive is always mounted once boot is complete (I mean even
when I just press Ctrl-d to by-pass fixing.)  And no problems
read/write to it occur.

I finally reformatted /dev/hda11 to ext3.  Now the last reiserfs
partition that shows up in boot messages is /dev/hda9 and it fails the
same way.

These facts lead me to believe it isn't really a reiserfs failure at
all but something earlier that just shows up at that point, but I
cannot fathom out what.

Have you checked the output of fdisk to make sure the partition does not 
overlap with another?

fdisk -l /dev/hda

and check that no 2 partitions are using the same disk blocks.
