I have no idea what happened, but last night my system suddenly
hanged. In the morning I turned the machine on, and noticed that two
filesystems were gone. Fortunately of the other filesystem I had a
100% backup from yesterday, so I am simply restoring it, but the other
volume's data might not be that easy to recover. It's not mission
critical data, but still..
lectric# mount -t reiserfs /dev/archive/audio /mnt/mnt2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/archive/audio,
or too many mounted file systems
(I manage the filesystems with LVM.)
lectric# od -a /dev/archive/audio | less
/R e I
0250060 stx nul stx nul R e I s E r 2 F s nul nul nul
0250100 etx nul nul nul eot nul x nul stx nul nul nul em nul nul nul
0250120 nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul
So there's something there. First 16 kilobytes were nul, but that's
the way the should be? I can also find some of the file names too.
Also it seems to me I might've created the filesystems with an older
mkreiserfs (sorry, I deleted it before I thought of checking the
version) which I found in my /usr/local/sbin instead of using the
up-to-date /sbin/mkreiserfs from debian unstable.
