hi reiserfs-developers,

i cannot mount my reiserfs partition any more, because of that:

super-459: read_super_block: super found at block 16 is within its own log. It must 
not be of this format type.


so, here's the story how i "created" this error and some details:

due a hardware failure (the harddisk?), i got some weird error messages:

Apr 13 17:32:13 hq kernel: hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Apr 13 17:32:13 hq kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
(...)

followed by some filesystem errors:

Apr 13 17:33:46 hq kernel: is_tree_node: node level 432 does not match to the expected 
one 1
Apr 13 17:33:46 hq kernel: vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format found in block 
19232. Fsck?
Apr 13 17:33:46 hq kernel: vs-13070: reiserfs_read_inode2: i/o failure occurred trying 
to find stat data of [1584 1590 0x0
 SD]
...and so on....

i had to reboot my pc, the disk was ok, but the partition was dead.
so i downloaded the newest reiserfs-utils (3.x.1b) and tried to repair it.
the superblock seemed to be screwed up, so...

# reiserfsck /dev/hdb1 --rebuild-sb --no-journal-available
# reiserfsck --rebuild-tree

...did some work on the filesystem, but i'm still not able to mount it, because while 
rebuilding the superblock, fsck did not make a journal on the device:

# debugreiserfs /dev/hdb1

now, that the journal's size is only one block, mount fails, while fsck claims 
everything to be alright (mount -o nolog also fails).
i don't know if this is a bug in reiserfsck....and maybe there is a way to insert a 
journal into between the rootblock and the superblock (where the journal was before 
the crash...)?

thanks, thomas.
