System: AMD64 3000+ OS: SuSE 9.2 64 bit ed. / : reiserfs v3.6 (sda1) swap: (sda2) /home: reiserfs v3.6 (sda3)
I was doing regular chores - email, xmms, web browsing etc. I shut down the system with the "poweroff" command. On reboot, /home would not mount complaining it could not recognize any file system on /dev/sda3 Using Knoppix 3.8.1 booted w/o any device mounted and tried: # fsck.reiserfs /dev/sda3 Get the following output: <quote> Zero bit found in on-disk bitmap after the last validbit Checking internal tree Bad root block 0 (--rebuild-tree did not complete) Aborted </quote> >From the man pages for fsck.reiserfs, debugreiserfs, the error appears to be fatal. Searched thru the mailing list archives @ www.namesys.com (Reiserfs site) and did not find any solution there. I do have a back up of /home but it is about 3 weeks old. I have a few files and lots of emails that I need to recover. Any pointers/solutions appreciated.
