In the usual case, that happens with a reiserfsck --rebuild-tree, which rebuilds the whole filesystem, scanning your filesystem for parts that ever looked like it belonged to a reiserfs filesystem (when you rm -rf, only the tree is adjusted, the data stays on disk, so when you rebuild the tree you get it back) The problem with reiserfs is that it just rebuilds your tree with everything it finds on your disk that looks like it ever belonged to a reiserfs system. Now try this: - create an empty partition or image file - create a reiserfs filesystem on it - mount it - create some image files with reiserfs filesystems on that - put some data on the images, put some data on the main partition - run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree on your main test image/partition What you'll get here is a completely messed up filesystem, because reiserfsck will put together everything that looks like something that belongs to your reiserfs filesystem... including the contents of your disk images. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
