Here's what I would do. Boot off a floppy or livecd. Then, do NOT mount your root drive (/dev/hdb6) you may have a problem with. run reiserfsck --check /dev/hdb6 and see what pops up. If you get a message to run fix-fixable, then follow those directions. It could be as simple as not shutting down properly or having had to reboot without shutting down at all. A status bit is set on the drive which tells fsck that it was not shutdown properly. Reiser is unique in that it can't really check the root partition carefully because it is always mounted read-only when it checks it. But definitely, you need to boot off a different medium to fix this. -- Peter -- [email protected] mailing list
