Has anyone else had a problem in which reiser4 loses a file, but fsck.reiser4 can't find anything wrong?
I was trying to burn a large file to dvd+rw but k3b would just ignore it. It would therefore spend very little time writing the dvd, but a long time verifying it before it decided that the file was missing from the dvd. I then found that when I clicked on the file icon in konqueror I would get a message that the file did not exist, while khexedit would show me an empty file. F3ing in midnight commander would also show me an empty file until the file was moved to trash, after which it would show me the binary gibberish I would normally have expected. However moving the file to trash did not help konqueror or khexedit to see anything in the file. I booted from a rescue disk and ran fsck.reiser4, but it found no error. The file had a simple ascii name (winxp.img) and, at 4GB exactly, was by far the largest file I have ever had on my reiser4 partition. Deleting the file completely freed up the space the file was supposed to have been taking up. Does anyone know if this is a known problem with reiser4, if it is indeed a problem particularly with large files, and if I would be likely to meet it again once I start using large files more often for video editing and stuff? Many thanks Robert PS If I don't reply promptly to your replies this time it's not because I'm being rude. I'm just going to be off-grid for a little while. -- Robert Persson [EMAIL PROTECTED] YahooMess:ireneshusband AIM:shamanicpolice "Don't use nuclear weapons to troubleshoot faults."
