Man pages recommend a complete backup; a (partial) data loss is quite probable. From "man reiserfsck"--- | --rebuild-tree | | This rebuilds filesystem tree using leaf nodes found on the device. Normally, | you do not need this, but if you have to rebuild tree - please backup whole partition | first or at least the most important data if you can mount the partition. *** I've experienced this kind of memory leak (bitmap error) 2 or 3 times before, when I made a copy of the complete root filesystem to another partition and back again, for the purpose of making the root partition larger. FYI, "parted" with automatic file system resize option wrecked reiserfs (partition was resized correctly). ReiserFS v3.6.25 (vanilla-kernel 2.4.19) probably isn't completely sound. There is a Windows tool that supposedly can read ReiserFS, but _not mine_:-<< (RFSTOOL http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool/download.html).
