Just to follow up on this one. It did last a couple of weeks before I really started digging into this. It has turned out that you and Volker Armin were right. I never was able to backup that particular partition (containing /, /usr, /tmp, /opt, /var, /etc) since even dd if=/dev/hda6 gave up after a while reporting an I/O error. All other partitions, however, are backed up properly, and nothing that could not be replaced was on that partition. At present I have tried reiserfsck --badblocks bad.txt with both --fix-fixable and --rebuild-tree. --fix-fixable told me to run --rebuild-tree and --rebuild-tree failed leaving the partition unmountable. I also tried dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda6 which failed after a while. I finally tried formatting the partition with NTFS just to see if Windoze handles this better. Formatting it worked fine, scandisk returned no errors and I could copy 1,5 GB of data to the partition before it failed with a hardware error... In other words it doesn't. ;) Also during all those attempts the Current_Pending_Sectors reported by S.M.A.R.T. has grown from 39 to now 102.. So the result is that I have used another partition for my system since last friday and that the drive will be replaced next monday. Since that other partition is way smaller than the one I used to use and because it is such a short time, I thought I'd take the opportunity to try another distribution i.e. Kubuntu Dabber (beta) with KDE 3.5.2. I must say that I am impressed by the present state of Kubuntu, but I also really miss the control that Gentoo provides so next monday I'll be installing Gentoo on a brand new and more partitioned harddrive. :) I also really miss something equivalent to eix/diff-eix/eix-sync for Debian based systems. Hopefully (and probably) an insurance I have will pay for the replacement (except I'm going to purchase a bigger drive and will pay the difference). -- Bo Andresen pgpFzRVSGynAs.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] reiserfs troubles
I am currently trying to backup everything on my laptop in order to
repartition it. My root partition, /dev/hda6 is a reiserfs file system. /opt
is currently on the root partition.

This file isn't really important to me but I seem to have a lot of
them in /opt. I am quite curious about what can be done with this..
Thanks in advance.

If you have smart enabled (and you should have) and smartmontools installed
(you should have done that too), smart can tell you, if it is a hardware
problem (which is pretty probably the cause of the problem).
Back up everything...
