Subject: Libretto/linux file system problem

One for the linux gurus here.

I suspect I already know the answer, but:

I have a /home partition formatted with reiserfs (from the Mandrake 7.1) and 
in a subdirectory there is a file which appears to have no owner. I can't rm 
it, chown, or chmod it - 'i/o error' and trying to ls-la it throws a 
segfault (as does anything which tries to find its size).

du also seems to show higher results than I'd expect, though I'm not certain 
of this. I'm getting other anomalous problems - directories which crash kfm 
when I try and erase them - and I'm also seeing 'cannot umount /home - busy' 
when I try to shutdown (though it does shutdown after three attempts.

rieserfsck insists that all is well, but refuses to accept the -p parameter 
indicated in the man page.

Any thoughts? Maybe this is a good time to look at Debian :)

Neil
